WHO Global Malaria Programme: Malaria Policy Advisory Committee Insights

The Malaria Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC) ensures independent, strategic advice on all aspects of malaria control and elimination. MPAC convenes twice a year, with meetings open to observers, and provides valuable recommendations to the WHO Director-General through the Global Malaria Programme. Various advisory bodies like MEOC and VCAG support MPAC's mission. The structured meeting procedures include pre-reads before closed sessions to formulate conclusions and recommendations. Virtual and diverse meeting locations are planned to ensure accessibility and engagement.
