Our Vision
A resilient community health system with empowered communities in achieving a malaria-free country.
Our purpose
We organise civil society so community priorities are visible, coordinated and acted on.
GCNM works with malaria-endemic communities, member organisations, public institutions, the private sector and development partners. The coalition creates a shared platform for community mobilisation, learning, programme implementation, accountability and advocacy.
Its work links local experience to national malaria priorities, helping communities participate not only as beneficiaries but as partners in prevention, service improvement and elimination.

Our journey
2008 — A national civil-society coalition is formed
GCNM began in 2008 when malaria-focused civil-society organisations created a common platform for coordinating community action, public education and engagement with Ghana's health system.
Building collaboration
As the network expanded, GCNM strengthened its relationship with the National Malaria Elimination Programme and other partners, helping connect national malaria priorities with organisations working close to households and communities.
Broadening community accountability
The coalition's work has evolved beyond mobilisation alone to include advocacy, Community-Led Monitoring, gender and human-rights considerations, social accountability and stronger community health systems.
Today
GCNM continues to organise civil-society participation in malaria elimination while supporting members to generate evidence, engage duty bearers, strengthen services and amplify community priorities across Ghana.
Connect with the coalition
