Prosper Chaki leaves us a legacy that goes far beyond science. He was a living inspiration through his intellectual rigour and his generous service. The PAMCA family will never be the same without his presence: his vision, his wisdom and the rare humanity that so deeply marked us will be forever missed. His absence is profoundly painful, but his example lives on in the ideas he planted and in the lives he touched. To his family, friends and all those who shared his journey, I extend my sincerest condolences and solidarity at this time of sorrow. May his memory continue to guide and inspire us….

It was indeed a great privilege and honour to work under the leadership of Dr Prosper Chaki, he was an honourable and kind man. He led with patience, quiet strength and a vision that lifted everyone around him. His kindness was not loud but it was steady, and it left its mark on many lives. For that, he will be remembered with gratitude and respect. I know Heaven receives him, having known his work was done with integrity and care, knowing he was the kindest and most thoughtful leader. Matthew 25:21 My heartfelt condolences go to his family, loved ones, and all who walked alongside him. May you find comfort in the legacy he leaves behind and strength in the many lives he touched. Psalm 34:18  …

  Dr Prosper, you were among the scientists who inspired me when I joined PAMCA. Your legacy will continue to impact many generations. May your soul rest in peace. My heartfelt condolences to your family and the entire scientific community!…

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my mentor and colleague, Dr. Prosper Chaki. I met Propser in 2019 at the launch of the African Center of Excellence in Biotechnologies for the Control of Vector-Borne Diseases in Burkina Faso.  He was a visionary leader whose dedication to vector control profoundly transformed public health across Africa. To me, Dr. Chaki was more than a scientist; he was a guide whose humility and intellectual leadership inspired everyone privileged to work with him. His commitment to mentoring the next generation leaves an indelible mark on our community. We honor his legacy of excellence and his tireless work toward “An Africa free of vector-borne diseases”. Rest in peace, Dr. Chaki. Your influence lives on in our continued mission….

GONE TOO SOON, YET NEVER GONE Prosper was a man of great vision, courage, and deep compassion for Africa and its children. He saw beyond the present pain and dedicated his life to a future where no child would suffer or die from malaria. His work was not just a profession; it was a calling, driven by purpose, hope, and unshakable belief that Africa deserves better.  Though this time with us was far too short, the impact of his life is enduring. The lives he touched, the systems he strengthened, and the hope he ignited will continue to speak long after his passing. We mourn the loss of a leader, a servant, and a champion for the vulnerable, but we celebrate a legacy that lives on in every child saved, every life uplifted, every dream inspired. Rest in peace, Prosper. Your spirit lives on in the cause you so passionately served, and your vision will continue to guide us forward.   …

It’s rare to find people like you Prosper So smart yet so humble, so wise yet so gentle, you were such a wonderful leader. You were a source of inspiration for so many of us and you will be missed greatly. Rest in perfect peace our dear mentor. …

Prosper was a friend, a colleague, and a mentor in the truest sense. The kind who listened more than he spoke, who lifted others without seeking recognition, and who led with a quiet strength that inspired everyone around him. He was a true son of Africa. Humble and grounded, he understood the communities he served because he was one of them. He didn’t just talk about mentoring the next generation, he lived it. The networks he built, the young scientists he nurtured, the collaborations he fostered… these will continue to bear fruit long after today. That is the mark of a life well lived. We have lost him too soon, but we have been blessed to have known him at all. Until that bright morning…Lala salama, Daktari. You have run your race with grace 🕊️…

A life well lived. Rest in peace, Dr. Chaki. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. May God grant you comfort and strength.  …

Prof. Chaki and Dr. Issa Lyimo were supposed to teach us the “Infectious and Non-Infectious Diseases” module. However, Prof. Chaki was busy so Dr. Issa taught the class alone. One day, we visited the IHI Dar office, and Dada Cecy (Training Department Administrator) pointed out, “Look, that is Prof. Chaki who refused to teach your module,” and then started laughing. From that day on, whenever he saw me, he would greet me with, “Mzima mwanafunzi wangu?” It is really a great loss. May his soul rest in peace. 🙏🏾🕊️…

I am privileged to have worked for Dr. Chaki during his tenure as chairman as the software development consultant for the pamca conference management system and the pamca website. A great leader who was results oriented. My condolences to his family and the entire pamca community. May his soul rest in peace 🕊️…

We have lost you too soon, Dr. Prosper Chaki. It was such a privilege to work with you and learn from you during the years we shared. As I pay tribute in disbelief, I remain grateful to the Lord Almighty God for your life, your service, your friendship and your collegiality. My heartfelt condolences to your family and loved ones. May you soul rest in eternal peace!…

Fare thee well Dr. Chaki, a gentle giant, a rare gem, a true patriot, a mentor, and a visionary leader whose voice commanded respect. His spirit shall live on, for he touched many lives. Sending my heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, PAMCA, and everyone else who crossed paths with him. Long live the spirit of Dr. Prosper Chaki!!!…

Indeed, this is a great loss to the entire scientific community. You inspired so many, Dr. Prosper, and your presence will be deeply missed. You handed to me my very first international scientific award, and your words of encouragement and congratulations will remain unforgettable. As many have said, you were truly a great human. My thoughts and heartfelt condolences go to your family. Rest in peace Dr. Chaki!…
