Descrição

This booklet is intended for: Members of Parliament, parliamentary assistants, secretariats of parliamentary committees, All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs), non-government organisations (NGOs), and all other actors engaged in the fight against malaria. It aims to help these groups respond effectively to the scourge of malaria, by providing best practice examples for raising the profile of malaria in Europe, primarily in the context of development cooperation but also in the national context in European countries where malaria is endemic. This booklet presents information on some of the specific advocacy methods used by EPF and members of its Malaria Task force to intensify the legislative and budgetary oversight role of European parliamentarians and the advocacy efforts of NGOs. It also provides case studies of initiatives undertaken by parliamentarians and APPGs throughout Europe – examples that have led to increased awareness and political and financial support for malaria at national, European and international levels.
