The GBCHealth\u2019s Corporate Alliance on Malaria in Africa (CAMA), alongside the Private Sector Malaria Prevention Project (PSMP) at the John Hopkins Center for Communication, UK Aid and the National Malaria Control Programme of the Ghana Health Services, have conferred the \u2018Innovation Award\u2019 on Access Bank and other significant awards to four other organisations for their roles in combating malaria scourge on the continent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Access Bank won the Innovation in Malaria Financing award with its Malaria to Zero initiative that leverages innovative financing technology and media tools to accelerate the impact of malaria behavior change programs reaching 2 million Nigerians in the grassroots and underserved communities across Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The other awarded organisations include ExxonMobil, Aliko Dangote Foundation, TANA Netting and Hippo Valley Estates Ltd.<\/p>\n

According to the organisers, the awardees have taken significant steps to protect their employees and communities; and contribute to sustainable progress on national and global malaria eradication goals.<\/p>\n

The event which took place in Accra, Ghana on the 5th April, 2018 had the First Lady of the Republic of Ghana, Rebecca Akufo-Addo, in attendance as the Keynote speaker of the day and the award recognitions came into play at a night event providing an opportunity for corporate leaders to share best practices and explore opportunities for partnership.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the great honour bestowed upon Access Bank, the Head of Sustainability, Omobolanle Victor-Laniyan, noted, \u201cThe only way to end or at least reduce the prevalence of malaria is by organising and strategically leveraging on the resources, capabilities and the proven expertise of private sector organisations. This is what Access Bank has been championing using the platform of Malaria to Zero,\u201d<\/p>
