SMC Alliance

The SMC Alliance is a group of stakeholders involved in SMC campaigns, from National Malaria Control Programmes to international technical partners and donors.

#Malaria prevalence in Nigeria among children aged 6–59 months has declined by nearly 64% over the past 15 years.

Sustained investment in prevention tools like SMC, treatment, surveillance and public awareness has helped drive this progress.

In July, Burkina Faso and Togo launched a joint #SMC campaign to protect children during the rainy season, demonstrating how cross-border collaboration can strengthen malaria prevention, reach mobile populations and maximise the impact of SMC.

🇬🇲 The 2026 SMC campaign begins in Rural Gambia today, 28 August!

From 28 August–1 September, communities will deliver seasonal malaria chemoprevention drugs to protect eligible children from malaria during the high-transmission season.

#WorldMosquitoDay reminds us that fighting #malaria is an ongoing challenge, with resistance threatening the tools we rely on.

Martin Fitchet & Michael Adekunle Charles call for investment in today's tools AND innovations to stay ahead of resistance https://t.co/ofo4sO2k1p

Global health challenges require global collaboration.

This #WorldMosquitoDay, as MMV's flag flies over Geneva, we're celebrating the city's role as a meeting point where partnerships connect expertise and #innovation with communities around the world. 🦟🌍

🦟The buzz is back. Can you still hear it?

For most of us, it’s an annoyance.

For millions living where malaria persists, a mosquito bite can be life-threatening.

20 August. World Mosquito Day.

Don’t tune out. Share to help create awareness.

🦟 This Thursday marks #WorldMosquitoDay!

Throughout the week, we'll be sharing mosquito facts and insights into how genetically modified mosquitoes are being developed to support #malaria control efforts in Africa.

We're also launching #VoicesFromTheLab, a new series introducing the people behind the science and highlighting their work on the project.

To kick off the campaign, can you spot the difference between a female and male Anopheles mosquito? Take a closer look at the GIF below and test your mosquito knowledge. 🦟

#Malaria exploits disruption.

A new @FightingMalaria study explores the challenges of delivering SMC in conflict- and flood-affected South Sudan, with lessons other complex settings can benefit from.

#Malaria prevention saves lives. It can also be an investment in children's education & future productivity.

A new study suggests expanding SMC to school-aged children could deliver billions in health & economic benefits.

Between 2019 and 2024, Ghana reduced #malaria deaths among children under 5 by 86%.

Its experience shows the value of layering interventions and ensuring vaccines, bed nets, diagnosis, treatment and community-centred delivery work together.

New research explores what it takes to deliver #SMC in conflict- and flood-affected areas of #SouthSudan. 🦟

The findings highlight practical ways to strengthen #malaria prevention and reach more children in complex settings.

[National Malaria Elimination Programme @nmepgh]

SMC is being implemented in 69 districts across northern Ghana, including districts in the Upper East, Upper West, Northern, North East, Savannah, and Oti Regions, as well as selected districts in Bono East. One mission unites us all: protecting children from malaria.

[National Malaria Elimination Programme @nmepgh]

Young children under 5 are the primary target for #KillerNtomtom, especially now that the rainy season is here, but the power to stop her is in your hands!

From ensuring your child completes their full dose of SMC medicine to sleeping under treated nets and wearing protective clothing outdoors, every small action shuts Ntomtom down.

Swipe through to see how you can outsmart Killer Ntomtom and safeguard your child today! 👇

Long-acting injectables could provide protection from malaria for up to 6 months with a single administration.

Cristina Donini explains how it works.

Reaching zero #malaria requires continued #innovation & sustained commitment to get breakthroughs to those who need them most.

[Severe Malaria Observatory @MalariaSevere]

One patient. One visit. One cure.

That's the ambition behind single-dose cures for #malaria, one of the most promising innovations currently in development.

[Unitaid @UNITAID]

Malaria is evolving.

The response must evolve too.

Over the past 20 years, the malaria toolbox has expanded from a handful of interventions to a growing range of complementary tools helping protect communities worldwide.

[Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) @MedsforMalaria]

Today in Tokyo, MMV, @gatesfoundation & @GHITFund hosted a Symposium on Malaria R&D. This event convened stakeholders from across the global #malaria community to spotlight Japan's contributions to R&D and strengthen the partnerships needed to move towards a malaria-free future.

[Target Malaria @TargetMalaria]

We've come a long way in the fight against #malaria.

New tools are reaching communities. More than 3 million children have received a malaria vaccine dose, 250 million children have been protected through seasonal malaria chemoprevention, and 56 million next-generation mosquito nets have been deployed across Africa, strengthening one of our most effective defences against the disease.

Science is advancing faster than ever before, opening up new possibilities and bringing us closer to a future where malaria is no longer a threat.

But malaria doesn't wait, and neither can we.

Every breakthrough matters. Every child protected is a step forward. The progress we've made reminds us that, with the right tools and teamwork, ending malaria is within reach. #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe, and together we can #EndMalaria!

This Feb, 300+ delegates from 30+ countries gathered in #Kampala, Uganda for the 1st joint annual meeting of the @SmcAlliance & the Alliance for Malaria Prevention to share experiences & strengthen #malaria prevention across Africa.

Seasonal #malaria chemoprevention (#SMC) is among the most effective interventions against malaria. In 2025, we reached ≈17 million children with #philanthropic support.
