This event provides a platform to amplify the intersection of youth engagement, digitalisation, malaria prevention, and climate action, highlighting innovative solutions and collaborative efforts. With climate change projected to increase malaria exposure significantly, the forum emphasises the role of young digital natives in mitigating these impacts through technology and data-driven approaches. By engaging in this dialogue, the RBM Partnership can foster knowledge exchange, raise awareness about the interconnectedness of health and climate issues, and inspire action among youth and stakeholders to sustain and accelerate progress towards malaria elimination.
It is against this backdrop that we will host a one-hour-and-a-half Twitter youth space discussion on Friday, August 9th, 2024, to support the amplification of the youth and senior leaders' work to end malaria in Africa by showcasing the role of digital solutions to address the impact of climate change and other threats that accelerate malaria in Africa.
