Freeing African communities from the deadly threat of malaria in Uganda and Kenya and addressing the vulnerabilities of Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) in Malawi.

This proposal forms part of Comic Relief's funding agreement with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. BMGF's $10m grant to Comic Relief as part of RND19 campaign is being matched by Comic Relief 1:1 and split 50/50 between The Global Fund and The Challenge Initiative.We have previously funded The Global Fund to deliver work focused on malaria within the ECD age range. This year we are introducing another element, focusing on reducing HIV transmission among adolescent women and young girls.
