Prevention of Malaria through Vector Control (PMVC)

Objectives

**Alternative title: The U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) Evolving Vector Control to Fight Malaria (Evolve) Project**

To work with country governments to integrate indoor residual spray campaigns with distribution of insecticide treated nets–two proven, life-saving malaria vector control interventions as well as new tools adopted by PMI such as larval source management.

Rationale and Abstract

This is an integrated five-year activity focused on increasing local investment and leadership, adapting to climate change and greener practices, and promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment in malaria vector control programming.

The PMI Evolve team supports PMI and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Missions and Bureaus with planning, implementing, and monitoring malaria vector control programs in 21 countries. These programs include entomological monitoring, indoor residual spraying (IRS), distribution of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), and larval source management (LSM). This project is strengthening the capacity of local institutions, including national malaria programs, district health offices, and research institutions, to independently implement vector control programs.

Through this contract, EnCompass serves as the lead partner in the co-design, co-implementation, and joint monitoring of PMI Evolve’s overall capacity-strengthening approach, designing activities and materials to build in-country capacity in the various technical and organizational competencies needed to plan, implement, and monitor successful malaria vector control activities. EnCompass is also facilitating gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) integration and safeguarding across the project, including the development of GESI integration guidelines and the inclusion of appropriate gender equity messages in training materials to model GESI integration and ensure the protection of women and persons with marginalized identities who participate in vector control activities.
