Africa Malaria Day 2005

Date: 25 April 2005

The theme of this year's Africa Malaria Day is "Unite Against Malaria". Under the slogan "Together We Can Beat Malaria", this year's event will highlight the importance of partnerships in the fight against malaria. This year marks the halfway point between 2000 - the year of the African Summit on Malaria in Abuja, Nigeria - and 2010, the year by which 44 African leaders at the Summit pledged to halve the burden of malaria in Africa.
