OTHER M4M ADVOCACY PROJECTS
Through Malaria Advocacy Innovation Grants, M4M supports projects that aim to boost advocacy efforts to improve Africa-to-Africa accountability for response to malaria suffering on the continent as well inspire African civil society organisations and media to become “leaders” in the fight against malaria in Francophone and Anglophone African countries.
The Innovation Grants support ideas and partnerships that aim to reach new audiences in creative ways and tackle difficult issues such as equity, transparency and accountability in Africa. Audiences include decision makers at national or regional levels, politicians, media persons, ministries, international organizations or local leaders. These grants also aim to encourage the engagement of artists to amplify advocacy messages in African countries.
Seven projects are currently supported by the Grants in the following countries/regions: Nigeria, Western and Central Africa (a 10 country project in Congo, RDC, Gabon, Chad, Central African Republic, Mali, Togo, Djibouti, Cameroon and Benin), Tanzania, Ghana, Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of Congo & Burkina Faso.
The third Round of the Malaria Advocacy Innovation Grants was launched on World Malaria Day (25th April 2008) and ended on Monday 16th June.
