About African Media and Malaria Research Network (AMMREN)
AMMREN is a network of journalists and scientists working towards the prevention and control of malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa. It was formed in November 2006. The network creates a common platform for African journalists and scientists to work towards the eradication of malaria. Malaria is endemic in most parts of the continent and is the number one killer of children under five and a threat to national development. Nineteen print and electronic journalists from 9 African countries are the founding members of the network.
About the Project
The "Eyes on Malaria" project was a nine country project led by African Media and Malaria Research Network (AMMREN) based in Ghana. The other 8 countries involved in the project were Gabon, Senegal, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania and The Gambia. The project focused on the media and on engaging journalists, scientists and opinion leaders through the development of a magazine which reports on malaria research findings from a network of nine African malaria endemic countries on an ongoing basis.
