We're here to build cross-party UK Parliamentary support in the fight to end malaria and neglected tropical diseases.
About the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases
The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases works to raise the profile of malaria and neglected tropical diseases in the UK Parliament, to champion solutions and tools to prevent, treat, control, and eliminate these diseases, and to strengthen cross-party Parliamentary support for UK leadership, investment, and mobilisation of political will as the world works towards the shared 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
Our Aims
- To inform Parliamentarians of the devastation that malaria and NTDs cause.
- To build cross-party Parliamentary support for UK leadership and investment in the fight to end malaria and NTDs.
- To cultivate a strong group of Parliamentary champions who will hold the government to account on their commitments to tackling malaria and NTDs.
Our Objectives
- To raise the profile of malaria and NTDs.
- To keep members informed of updates and milestones across malaria and NTDs and equipped with up-to-date data to enable them to make meaningful Parliamentary contributions.
- To hold the government to account for meeting commitments relating to ending the epidemics of malaria and NTDs.
- To demonstrate the impact and value of UK aid, with a focus on upcoming Replenishments (including Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria) and funding for long-term research.
- To support and promote British-backed science, research, and innovation, including UK institutions and Product Development Partnerships and equitable research partnerships and capacity-building in endemic countries.
- To maintain and build relationships with key malaria and NTD stakeholders and to build relationships with Parliamentary Groups, forums, and caucuses in endemic and donor countries.
- To undertake cross-party Parliamentary delegation visits to affected countries and to undertake cross-party Parliamentary visits to UK science, research, and innovation hubs.
