This organization was impacted by COVID-19 in a way that effected their financial health in 2020. This normally would have reduced their star rating. Due to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, we give charities such as this one the opportunity to share the story of COVID's impact on them, and doing this pauses our revision of their rating. Charities may submit their own pandemic responses through their nonprofit portal.
Malaria Consortium reported being impacted by COVID-19 in the following ways:
Program Delivery
Revenue
Staffing
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's operations financially:
With the end of FCDO funding from the UK, several large projects in three countries ended abruptly. This has made a huge impact on the continuity of care and service delivery and will eventually contribute to a resurge in malaria defeating the progress made toward disease reduction and elimination.
How COVID-19 impacted the organization's delivery of programs:
Malaria Consortium is committed to fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. It is our mission to protect the most vulnerable, and COVID-19 is a new addition to a list of communicable diseases that still includes malaria, pneumonia, diarrhoea and dengue. Any let up in tackling these diseases would be devastating for millions of people across Africa and Asia at a time when health systems are fragile and likely to be stretched to breaking point by the added burden of COVID-19. Malaria Consortium fully supports the World Health Organization’s declaration that interventions to prevent and control common communicable diseases should be defined as core services that must not be interrupted.
How this organization adapted to changing conditions caused by COVID-19:
Malaria Consortium ensured that the delivery of services is able to continue even with the movement restrictions that national governments are implementing to suppress transmission of COVID-19. This can be achieved by safeguarding delivery platforms for core services and implementing enhanced safety measures so that health workers and health service users are protected from being infected with the coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 which causes the disease COVID-19. We continued implementing all programs during the pandemic although we had to revise all of our materials and train project staff and implementers on infection prevention and control and we had to increase projects cost to to supply programs with face masks, hand sanitizer and disinfectant. We have also published about multiple studies conducted on the effect of COVID-19 on implementation of our large scale programs as well as the co-infection with malaria.
Innovations the organization intends to continue permanently after the pandemic:
We are learning innovative strategies to deliver training virtually.

Adaptability Story - 30/30 ptsAdaptability Story - 30/30 pts
The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
The COVID-19 pandemic illuminated the importance of investing not only in vaccine research and development, but also in vaccine manufacturing to ensure global equity across all countries. To keep populations healthy and save lives, we believe it is crucial that the global community continues to support and invest in vaccine development. We urge the global and malaria vaccine communities to address vaccine supply constraints and manufacturing capacity issues to ensure production matches accrual needs. Working with manufacturers, procurement and financial schemes to increase supply capacity could address these constraints. Alongside this, we encourage support for vaccine manufacturing facilities in Africa, which currently imports 99 percent of all vaccines. We believe that the effective targeting and implementation of vaccines requires strong partnerships at both country and global levels, backed by strong political commitment. Effective reciprocal knowledge sharing should be encouraged between national governments, national health programmes (such as those for malaria and immunisation), non-governmental organisations, donors and other agencies, civil society organisations, the private sector and communities. We support country ownership of vaccine interventions to ensure their sustainability, and we applaud current global efforts in this regard, as outlined in the Immunization Agenda 2030. Drawing on appropriate partnerships, countries can increase the resilience of their health systems through the co-development of context-appropriate tools and solutions that will facilitate local ownership and community buy-in. We believe technical expertise, innovative digital health solutions and technologies, training capacities and community engagement programs can be used effectively to support countries to ensure widespread availability and acceptability of vaccines and equitable coverage.
