A tough year for global health funding —but also one where STOP2030 hit major milestones, we collaborated on an FGS project which reached 55,000+ women, and we celebrated 7 years (and 16 interns!) of our internship programme.

Frontline community health workers are essential to ending malaria and their voices deserve to be heard. 🌍 Sharing this important report from RBM Partnership to End Malaria and @learningfoundation.bsky.social capturing their experiences and insights. #EndMalaria #GlobalHealth 👇
What surprised us when we listened to more than 1,000 health workers fighting malaria?

A short selection of contributions that read like natural experiments in malaria control: working cases from named districts and named countries.

Full report and articles in the first comment.

We were proud to join the 2026 NTD Program Managers Meeting in Malawi 🇲🇼
The theme, “innovative tools + sustainable financing for NTD elimination”, is why @stop2030.org exists.
Our fixed dose co-formulation targets ALL STH species, especially those with suboptimal response to current treatment.

Join partners of the FGS Integration Group as well as @giz.de @bmz.de today for a webinar on strengthening financing for Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS), which is essential to advancing women’s health, equity, and integrated NTD responses!

Integration is the path to elimination. Yesterday, Bridges & GLIDE explored how to break silos in global health. From WHO HQ to national programs in Ghana & Kenya, the consensus is clear: Schistosomiasis care must be integrated into routine SRHR and primary health services. 🌍 #HealthEquity #beatNTD

Following #InternationalWomen'sDay, join us on Wednesday 11 March at 4pm CET for a webinar exploring female genital schistosomiasis (#FGSchisto) as an example of why equity, gender, and integration must be central to disease elimination strategies.
