Integrated vector management in humanitarian emergencies

This toolkit outlines the Vector Borne Diseases (VBDs) commonly encountered in humanitarian emergencies and recommends a range of Integrated Vector Management (IVM) strategies for controlling them. The information provided is drawn from multiple sources, including an extensive literature review (published and grey data); consultation with NGOs, FBOs, World Health Organisation, UNICEF, UNHCR, and other United Nations agencies, Ministries of Health, and Universities; and a review of recent VBD control programmes in humanitarian crises. Some of these recent VBD control examples are outlined in case studies in the toolkit, to illustrate practical and effective IVM. The toolkit contains links to the tools that can be used for the different aspects of vector control in emergencies. There are links to useful templates and training information as well as tools to facilitate work in the field.
