WHO WE ARE

Malaria Free Uganda (MFU) was officially launched in September 2020 as a structured public–private partnership initiative working in strategic alignment with the National Malaria Elimination Division (NMED) ) of the Ministry of Health and its partners to eliminate malaria in Uganda. MFU is an independent, non-profit foundation incorporated in Uganda and is country-led and country-owned for the benefit of all Ugandans.

MFU provides high-level advocacy, mobilizes domestic resources, and strengthens accountability to accelerate progress toward eliminating malaria by 2030.

Why Malaria matters to Business

Malaria is not only a public health issue it is an economic challenge. It affects workforce productivity, increases corporate healthcare costs, disrupts supply chains, reduces household income, and weakens purchasing power. For Uganda’s private sector, investing in malaria elimination is not only a social responsibility but a  strategic economic decision.
