Our Mission

African leader.
Malaria focused.
Global connector.

The Multilateral Initiative on Malaria Society (MIM Society) enables researchers and institutions from Africa and other endemic regions through strong networks, impactful science, and strategic partnerships. Founded in 1997, MIM unites researchers, funders, policymakers, programmes, and communities to drive year-round coordination, evidence translation, and innovation.

Africa bears approximately 94% of global malaria cases and 95% of related deaths, yet global funding remains less than half of what is required. MIM is evolving into a stronger Africa-owned institution that helps shape research priorities, policy dialogue, and practical action across the continent and beyond.

MIM brings together researchers, programmes, funders, policymakers, industry, and communities so African-led evidence can move faster into policy and practice.
