The Malaria Consortium is a not-for-profit organisation, registered with the Charity Commission in the United Kingdom. Its aims include the following:
- To improve capacity in partner countries and organisations to control malaria and other diseases among vulnerable groups.
- To provide responsive and proactive management and technical support to Ministries of Health and partners on disease control and health systems development.
- To organise and manage the delivery of effective services and commodities to the populations in greatest need.
Services include: programme design and development, programme implementation, monitoring and evaluation, project management and consultancy. The Malaria Consortium delivers technical support services to international agencies, NGOs and global initiatives.
Note: The joint partnership between the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine known as the Malaria Consortium has undergone recent changes, due to the phasing out of DFID funding. The offices at each of the schools closed at the end of August 2003. The Malaria Consortium name has simultaneously been taken on by a new NGO led by a former staff member, which is wholly independent from either of the schools.
Publications and other materials produced by the Malaria Consortium in its former partnership are available from the Malaria Consortium archive
