Job Description

Position Overview

​​United to Beat Malaria, a global grassroots campaign of the UN Foundation, brings together a diverse set of partners, influencers and supporters across the U.S. and around the world to take urgent action to end malaria. For more than 15 years, United to Beat Malaria (previously known as Nothing But Nets) has helped protect more than 39 million of the world’s most vulnerable people by providing bed nets and other life-saving tools, in addition to successfully advocating for increased U.S. leadership and funding for global malaria programs.

Despite tremendous progress made, a child dies nearly every minute from this entirely preventable and treatable disease. We know that a challenge of this magnitude requires individual and collective global action. That’s why United to Beat Malaria is rising to the challenge to equip and mobilize engaged global citizens and partners to raise awareness, funds and voices to advocate for a malaria
-free world.

By coordinating closely with UN agencies, the RBM Partnership to End Malaria, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the private sector and civil society, we channel and mobilize lifesaving resources to communities on the frontlines of the fight against malaria, prioritizing the most vulnerable and marginalized populations. We know that we need a holistic strategy to end malaria once and for all: That’s why we advocate for a full spectrum of innovative tools and strategies, increased political will and resources. United, we can be the generation to beat malaria and create a healthier, more equitable world for all.​
