AMP holds its annual partners’ meeting during the first quarter of each year, hosted by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in Geneva, Switzerland. The meeting typically convenes approximately 150 participants and provides a forum of globally-recognized importance devoted to ITN programme implementation, covering technical updates, challenges and lessons learned, ITN campaign and continuous distribution progress, post-ITN distribution issues and opportunities, and other key related topics.
Staff from the national malaria programmes of selected countries and their implementing partners, as well as representatives of global financial and technical organizations, attend and present their strategies and lessons learned from ITN distribution activities. The meeting provides a vital opportunity for sharing experiences and research results, and mobilizing partnerships around identified gaps for achieving and sustaining ITN universal coverage objectives.
Recaps from AMP partners meetings
Each year at its annual partners’ meeting, the Alliance for Malaria Prevention’s (AMP) Core Group selects countries or individuals to receive awards for exceptional performance in the fight against malaria, specifically vector control with insecticide treated nets (ITNs).
