Institutional Direction

MIM Strategy

MIM is strengthening its role as an Africa-owned, malaria-focused, globally connected institution that delivers value throughout the year.

Mission

Enabling impactful science and strategic partnerships

MIM enables researchers and institutions from Africa and other endemic regions through strong networks, impactful science, and strategic partnerships that drive innovation, inform policy, and advance malaria eradication.

The strategy is designed to move MIM from episodic activity around conferences toward a continuous institutional platform for capacity, knowledge, advocacy, convening, partnerships, and accountability.
