Chevron’s broader partnership with the Global Fund has supported malaria prevention and health system strengthening across several African countries, reinforcing regional and cross-border efforts to reduce malaria burden and improve access to lifesaving interventions.
According to Brent Gros, President, Chevron Offshore Business Unit, “Malaria remains a major public health challenge in some areas of our operations in Africa, therefore, our approach is rooted in long-term partnerships that strengthen local capacity, support government-led health strategies, and deliver lasting impact for families and communities. These efforts align with Chevron’s broader partnership strategy which focuses on health, education, and economic development to drive sustainable progress across Africa.”
Jim Swartz, Chairman and Managing Director, Chevron Nigeria and Mid Africa Region, added that the partnership between Chevron and The Global Fund is an example of how Chevron is contributing strategically to the development of Nigeria by helping to improve the health of its people.
He affirmed that Chevron has been one of the largest Global Fund corporate partners, and its partnership focuses on capacity development initiatives, joint advocacy and communications campaigns, and other local initiatives. “Chevron also encourages its staff to share their skills with the local programmes to help improve grant reach and performance,” he added.
Jim noted that Chevron has continued to receive commendation for its commitment to the fight against malaria in Nigeria and in the Mid Africa Region and will continue to collaborate with local health authorities and international partners to scale up prevention and treatment programmes, invest in community education, and support innovative solutions to eliminate malaria.
