Throughout her career, she has led strategic and evaluative initiatives that have shaped major global health programs and investments. Notable achievements include revising USAID’s maternal and child health investment frameworks to align with the Sustainable Development Goals, evaluating USAID’s flagship maternal and child health program, and designing a $1 billion successor strategy. In addition, she led the evaluation of the $3.5 billion Feed the Future nutrition portfolio, providing evidence that informed its Congressional reauthorization.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The throughline of Allyson’s professional trajectory has been a profound commitment to alleviating human suffering and promoting human dignity and health for all—a background that aligns deeply with Jhpiego’s longstanding mission to provide access to lifesaving health care where it is needed most,” said Johns Hopkins University President Ron Daniels in an email to the Johns Hopkins University community. “She brings a proven track record in strategic growth, innovation, and resource mobilization across the global health, economic development, and humanitarian sectors.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Dr. Bear began her career focused on global market shaping and scale-up efforts, starting with Gavi’s PneumoADIP and Hib Initiative, where she provided technical assistance to Ministries of Health for vaccine rollout and impact evaluations. From 2009 to 2015, she worked at USAID, leading the development of flagship U.S. Government health initiatives. She has also held leadership positions at Corus International and Abt Associates, managing global health and economic development portfolios across West Africa, francophone Central Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Bear has worked in more than 45 countries worldwide, including 11 years of residence in multiple countries throughout Africa and Asia.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“It has been a privilege to lead Jhpiego over the last 25 years, and I could not be more confident as I pass the baton to Dr. Allyson Bear,” said Dr. Leslie Mancuso, outgoing president and CEO of Jhpiego. “Her commitment to improving global health and her thoughtful, values-driven leadership give me great optimism for the future of the organization.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Dr. Bear will succeed Dr. Leslie Mancuso, who has led Jhpiego since 2001 and announced her planned retirement in 2024. Under Dr. Mancuso’s leadership, Jhpiego has evolved from an organization with four core programs focused on family planning and cervical cancer prevention into one of the world’s most respected global health entities, now operating in 39 countries.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>To learn more about Dr. Bear, \u003Cstrong>\u003Ca href=\"https://hub.jhu.edu/2026/03/17/allyson-bear-named-jhpiego-president-ceo/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https://hub.jhu.edu/2026/03/17/allyson-bear-named-jhpiego-president-ceo/\">read the Johns Hopkins University Hub article here.\u003C/a>\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>Johns Hopkins University has announced that Dr. Allyson Bear will be Jhpiego’s next president and CEO.

in Ildong-Souaye Village, Photo by Solange Shenwe for Jhpiego.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Malaria is a major health risk in Cameroon’s North and Far North regions, where transmission rises sharply during the rainy season, which runs from June to October. Increased rainfall creates stagnant water that serves as breeding sites for Anopheles mosquitoes that transmit malaria. Climate factors such as higher humidity and temperature further support mosquito survival and parasite development, contributing to a surge in cases during this period.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“When the heavy rains swell the lake separating their village from mine, parents in Ildong-Souaye worry about how their children will receive antimalarial medication,” said Jeanette.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>To address this risk, Jhpiego, with funding from GiveWell and other donors, supported the Ministry of Public Health’s seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) campaign in 2025. Each year, trained health workers and community mobilizers go door to door to administer a preventive antimalarial combination—sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine (SPAQ)—to children ages 3 to 59 months. The treatment is given monthly for four or five cycles, depending on local transmission patterns, ensuring protective drug levels throughout the peak season.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Reaching these children often requires extraordinary effort. Difficult terrain, including rivers, flooded areas, and isolated villages, means health workers must travel by motorcycle, on foot, or by canoe to ensure no child is missed. Along the way, they not only administer preventive medicine but also educate families about malaria prevention.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Their determination is critical. Without prompt treatment, malaria can rapidly progress from a mild illness to a severe, life-threatening disease, especially in young children. Untreated Plasmodium falciparum malaria can lead to severe anemia, cerebral malaria (marked by confusion, convulsions, or coma), breathing difficulties, organ failure, and death within 24 to 48 hours in the most serious cases.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For children diagnosed with uncomplicated malaria, treatment typically involves artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), which is highly effective when taken correctly and on time. In Cameroon, treatment for children under five is provided free of charge in public health facilities, in line with national policy. Preventive efforts such as SMC campaigns further strengthen malaria control and improve child survival.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"6569\" height=\"3481\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_1996.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8621\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_1996.jpg 6569w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_1996-300x159.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_1996-1024x543.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_1996-768x407.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_1996-1536x814.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_1996-2048x1085.jpg 2048w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_1996-960x509.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_1996-375x199.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_1996-1280x678.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_1996-1920x1017.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_1996-2560x1357.jpg 2560w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_1996-3840x2035.jpg 3840w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/IMG_1996-6016x3188.jpg 6016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 6569px) 100vw, 6569px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Robert and Jeannette administering antimalarial medication to a child in Ildon-Souaye village.

Is United Against Antimalarial Drug Resistance with Their Bold New Strategy to Protect Life-Saving Malaria Treatments","\n\u003Cp>Dr. Sammy Mahugu has spent most of his career trying to stay one step ahead of malaria. As head of case management for the Kenyan government’s National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP), Dr. Mahugu has seen firsthand how the disease continues to take lives across the country, and how quickly the tools used to fight it can lose their edge. Malaria is an illness caused by parasites spread through mosquito bites that cause fever, chills, and fatigue. It is treatable and preventable, but if not caught in time, it can be deadly, especially for young children. So when early signals of antimalarial drug resistance began to emerge in East Africa, Dr. Mahugu knew Kenya could be next and could not afford to wait.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For decades, artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) have been the first-line treatment against malaria, saving millions of lives across Africa and the globe. But a silent threat has been gathering force. Across parts of the continent, partial resistance to ACTs is growing, and in Kenya, the widespread and prolonged use of a single ACT regimen—artemether-lumefantrine (AL)—poses a risk. Sustained pressure on one drug combination can accelerate the development and spread of resistance. Left unchecked, this trend could erode decades of hard-won gains in malaria treatment and place the most vulnerable communities back in danger.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Kenya_Malaria_Pregnancy-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8587\" srcset=\"https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Kenya_Malaria_Pregnancy-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Kenya_Malaria_Pregnancy-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Kenya_Malaria_Pregnancy-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Kenya_Malaria_Pregnancy-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Kenya_Malaria_Pregnancy-810x540.jpg 810w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Kenya_Malaria_Pregnancy-375x250.jpg 375w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Kenya_Malaria_Pregnancy-960x640.jpg 960w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Kenya_Malaria_Pregnancy-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Kenya_Malaria_Pregnancy-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://api.jhpiego.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Kenya_Malaria_Pregnancy.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Thirty six weeks pregnant, Katharine Aknyi receive malaria prevention medicine at the Got Matar Health Clinic in the Bondo District, Kenya.\u003C/figcaption>\u003C/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Despite significant progress through insecticide-treated nets, indoor residual spraying, improved surveillance, and expanded treatment access, malaria remains a major public health concern in Kenya. With evolving mosquito patterns and early signs of insecticide resistance emerging in some regions, the country recognized that bold, preventive action was needed.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In response, the Ministry of Health, through the NMCP, developed Kenya’s Multiple First-Line Therapies (MFT) Implementation Plan (2026–2030) with the Unitaid-funded Scaling the Optimal Use of Multiple Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapies to Prevent Antimalarial Drug Resistance (STOP-AMDR) project. Implemented by Jhpiego, STOP-AMDR provides the technical and financial support that is making bold action possible.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The collaborative engagement, technical rigor, and commitment demonstrated by the Jhpiego team have been instrumental in bringing the MFT process to this important milestone,” said Sammy Mahugu, head of case management for NMCP. “We truly value the spirit of partnership that has guided this work from concept development through validation.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Rather than continuing to rely on a single ACT regimen, the plan introduces and rotates multiple approved therapies across counties in a phased rollout. Using several different first-line antimalarial treatments at the same time puts less pressure on any one drug, helping them remain effective for longer. Slowing the emergence of resistance will preserve the long-term efficacy of available treatments and life-saving medicines for years to come.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The country will also maintain its “test-before-treat” policy, continue using multiple ACTs for uncomplicated malaria, and rely on injectable artesunate for severe cases.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>On February 5, 2026, that plan was put to the test when Jhpiego joined health leaders for a high-level external validation meeting. We joined the World Health Organization, the Global Fund, the Kenya Medical Research Institute, and the Kenya Non-Governmental Organization Alliance Against Malaria to discuss the urgent need to diversify treatment options by adopting MFTs. Together, we emphasized the importance of a well-coordinated national response and walked through each step of the implementation process, including:\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>Ensuring supply chain readiness\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Planning early procurement to avoid stockouts\u003C/li>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Preparing health workers—including pharmacists, laboratory teams, and community health promoters—through targeted training.\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We also discussed the need to integrate private providers into national reporting systems; strengthen pharmacovigilance and molecular surveillance so that the earliest signs of treatment failure can be detected quickly; and use community communication strategies to ensure that patients understand the new approach and trust the evolving system.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>By the end of the day, Kenya’s MFT Implementation Plan had been validated, refined by stakeholders’ input, and positioned for rollout.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For Jhpiego and many health leaders like Dr. Mahugu, validation of the plan is not the endpoint; it is a mandate. Concrete next steps are already in motion to launch the plan, strengthen surveillance and supply chains, mobilize sustainable financing, and roll out phased training across the country.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In the next phase, implementation will shift to the subnational level to close gaps and coordinate across public and private sectors. County leaders are ready to play their part.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“The implementation plan is comprehensive and well done,” said Dr. Patrick Boruett, county director for health in Baringo County. “Counties will be able to engage stakeholders at all levels and emphasize capacity building for health care workers, advocacy for leaders, community engagement, and involvement of the private sector.”\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Kenya’s proactive leadership demonstrates that containing malaria resistance is not a challenge to be addressed in the future. It is a responsibility that must be acted on now. With the MFT plan validated and partners working in alignment, the country is taking decisive steps to protect its malaria treatment arsenal, ensuring that every confirmed case can continue to be effectively treated and that progress toward malaria elimination remains firmly on course.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Ndinda Kusu is a Senior Technical Advisor for Health Systems Development, George Wadegu is Senior Technical Officer for Malaria, and Lisa Wagethi Kamau is a Communications Officer for Jhpiego Kenya.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Gladys Tetteh is Jhpiego’s Senior Technical Director for Malaria.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C/p>\n","\u003Cp>Despite significant progress, malaria remains a major public health concern in Kenya.
