World Malaria Day was instituted by the World Health Assembly at its 60th session in May 2007. In 2008, the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Partnership unveiled the Global Malaria Action Plan (GMAP) which included short, medium and long term goals of malaria control, elimination and eradication.
The 25th of April 2011 will be the fourth Word Malaria Day; with the theme "Achieving Progress and Impact". World Malaria Day is a harbinger of the international community's renewed efforts to assess progress towards zero malaria deaths by 2015.
The 2011 World Malaria Day Achieving Progress and Impact theme invites the malaria community to share progress and impact made till date, in order to encourage further action and investment against malaria. This is the world's largest effort to end malaria deaths.
