Downplaying the size of Africa, downplays its potential. Let's change the map. Let's change the narrative. At Target Malaria, our communications strategy is built on African voices, stories and narratives that are true to the diversity and realities of the African continent. That is why this #AfricaDay, we stay committed to the #CorrectTheMap campaign, using the Equal Earth projection to represent Africa more accurately in all our maps. Africa is not small. Covering 30.37 million square kilometers, it is large enough to fit the United States, China, India, and most of Europe combined.
