Target Malaria

Live from #Dakar2026! Captain Drabo has joined the Zero Malaria team. 📣⛹🏾‍♀️ He used to dominate the basketball courts, representing his country all over Africa, but today he champions innovation, because innovation is a team sport. 🏆 Captain Drabo is based on Mouhamed Drabo, an expert in Stakeholder Engagement for Target Malaria. As an expert, Mouhamed Drabo works with researchers, communities and young people together to defend the progress made in the fight against malaria. We’re all in this together; it's a full-court against malaria.🏀Read more about the campaign: targetmalaria.org/latest/blo… #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe #ZeroMalariaNextPlay #ZeroMalaria #Dakar2026 #YouthOlympicGames #FullCourtAgainstMalaria #MalariaResearch @SpeakUpAfrica1 @genedrivenet @MalariaNoMore @ZeroMalaria @malarianomoreuk

Almost half a year of school. That’s what the average child in Africa born 2000-2045 will miss because of #malaria. A new @MalariaNoMoreUK report reveals how it’s stealing education, damaging future earnings and holding back economic growth.📖 shorturl.at/ni1zF #LostLearningLostEarning #ZeroMalaria

Dans le sport, l’important n’est pas seulement de gagner. Il s’agit de se présenter, d’aller de l’avant et de ne jamais abandonner. Chaque round demande du courage. Chaque revers exige de la résilience. Chaque effort nous rapproche de notre objectif. La lutte contre le paludisme exige cette même détermination. Les scientifiques continuent d’innover. Les professionnels de santé continuent de protéger les communautés. Les jeunes continuent de faire entendre leur voix. Nous avons réalisé des progrès remarquables. Mais le combat n’est pas terminé, et notre détermination non plus. Chaque round compte. Chaque effort compte. Mettons le paludisme K.O.

"In sport, the next play is a decisive move that can change the course of the game. In the fight against malaria, it is the next policy, the next scientific breakthrough, the next investment, and the next generation of advocates that will bring us closer to elimination."

In sport, it's not just about winning. It's about showing up, pushing forward and never giving up. Every round takes courage. Every setback calls for resilience. Every effort brings us closer to our goal. The fight against #malaria demands that same determination. Scientists keep innovating. Health workers keep protecting communities. Young people keep raising their voices. We've made remarkable progress. But the fight isn't over, and neither is our determination. Every round matters. Every effort counts. Let's Knock Out Malaria. Because #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe, and together, #NowWeCanNowWeMust.

On n’atteint pas un objectif par hasard. Cela demande de la concentration. Cela demande de l’entraînement. Cela demande de l’engagement. Il en va de même pour éliminer le paludisme. Chaque action, chaque innovation et chaque voix nous rapprochent de l’objectif. 🌍 Un objectif.🦟 Une maladie.🎯 Une génération déterminée à y mettre fin. Zéro paludisme. A nous de jouer. Maintenant, nous le pouvons. Maintenant, nous le devons.

A target isn't reached by chance. It takes focus. It takes practice. It takes commitment. The same is true for ending #malaria. Every action, every innovation and every voice brings us closer to the goal. One target. One disease. One generation determined to end it.

Champions know that victory isn't just about speed. It's about endurance. In the race to end malaria, we've already covered incredible ground. Millions of lives have been saved, and more countries are reaching zero. But the closer we get to the finish line, the harder we must push. We cannot afford to slow down now. Every step. Every ride. Every stroke. Different journeys. One shared finish line: Zero Malaria. The next generation is ready to go the distance.

Les champions savent que la victoire ne repose pas uniquement sur la vitesse. Elle repose aussi sur l’endurance. Dans la course pour éliminer le paludisme, nous avons déjà parcouru un chemin incroyable. Des millions de vies ont été sauvées, et de plus en plus de pays se rapprochent de l’objectif « Zéro Palu ». Mais plus nous nous approchons de la ligne d’arrivée, plus nous devons redoubler d’efforts. Nous ne pouvons pas nous permettre de ralentir maintenant. Chaque pas. Chaque parcours à vélo. Chaque coup de rame. Des parcours différents. Une ligne d’arrivée commune : « Zéro paludisme ». La prochaine génération est prête à aller jusqu’au bout.

Nous devons nous unir en une seule équipe, avec un seul objectif : Zéro Palu. Et une seule question : quelle est la prochaine étape? L’histoire nous a déjà montré ce qui se passe lorsque le monde agit de concert contre le paludisme : des millions de vies sont sauvées, les communautés sont protégées et davantage de pays se dirigent vers un avenir sans paludisme. Mais la partie n’est pas terminée. Comme dans toute grande équipe, les progrès surviennent lorsque chaque joueur joue son rôle : les chercheurs mettent au point de nouvelles solutions, les professionnels de santé les mettent en œuvre, les dirigeants y investissent et les communautés les transforment en actions concrètes. Chaque acteur compte. Chaque action compte. Chaque nouvelle initiative peut faire reculer davantage le paludisme. Parce que #ZéroPalu commence avec moi, pour éradiquer le paludisme, nous devons tous nous mobiliser.

Deux filets. Deux jeux différents. Un objectif fort. Sur le terrain, le filet nous permet de marquer des points. À la maison, la moustiquaire nous permet de nous protéger contre le paludisme.

Two nets. Two different games. One powerful purpose. On the court, a net is where we score points. At home, a mosquito net is where we stop #malaria. One helps us win games. The other helps protect lives. Because some nets are about scoring points. Others are about saving lives. Different nets. One winning goal: Zero Malaria. Every net counts.

Nous sommes la génération qui peut #EnFinirAvecLePaludisme. Pas un jour. Pas dans un futur lointain. De notre vivant. Aux #JOJDakar2026, une nouvelle génération entre en scène, et notre plus grand défi dépasse le cadre sportif. C’est la course pour vaincre le paludisme. Aujourd’hui, nous le pouvons.

We must come together as one team, with one goal: Zero Malaria. And one question: what’s our next play?  History has already shown us what happens when the world acts together against malaria: millions of lives are saved, communities are protected, and more countries move towards a malaria-free future. But the game isn’t over. Like any great team, progress comes when every player plays their part, scientists advancing new solutions, health workers delivering them, leaders investing in them, and communities turning them into action. Every player matters. Every action counts. Every next play can move malaria further back. Because #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe, but ending malaria takes all of us.
