Globally, malaria cases are on the rise -- increasing to nearly 263 million in 2023, 11 million more than the previous year. Most of the increase can be accounted for by five countries, including Uganda. Uganda’s malaria transmission rates are among the highest in the world. Maximizing the impact of malaria investments on human lives requires data-driven, evidence-based decisions on how best to use resources, and how to adapt approaches as conditions change. Pilgrim Africa supports Uganda’s program and global partners to meet this challenge, by supporting data, analytics, and modeling for adaptive malaria control; research and evaluation; large-scale implementation of proven interventions; and mobilization of new resources and partnerships.
Help End Malaria
Adaptive management analytics, data pipelines and data dashboards esnure that the national malaria control program has routine access to information critical for management decisions – and can model the impact of optimized interventions to deploy in response.
Learn MoreSchoolchildren in Uganda, though they have a lower chance of mortality than newborn infants, are sick with malaria more often than any other population group. Many boarding schools treat a number of annual cases of malaria that exceeds the number of children enrolled.
Pilgrim Protect allows students to learn free of disease. We provide education in primary schools and tangible malaria prevention in secondary boarding schools, including indoor residual spraying (IRS), chemoprevention and larval source management.
For the past 15 years, Pilgrim Africa has been investigating effective control interventions for highly burdened communities, with a special focus on the combination of indoor residual spraying (IRS) and malaria mass drug administration (MDA)

For the last decade, Pilgrim Africa has supported the scale up of integrated community case management (iCCM) for malaria, diarrhea and pneumonia, the leading causes of mortality in children under five years of age, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
In partnership with the government, Rotarians, and World Vision, we helped to bring sustainable community-based care care to two districts of Uganda -- Katakwi and Soroti -- home to more than 500,000 people.
