VectorLink: Integrated malaria vector control

President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) VectorLink is a five-year project that was launched in September 2017 and is being implemented in 24 sub-Saharan African countries and Cambodia. Its goal is to equip countries with cost-effective and proven malaria vector control tools that are appropriate to each country’s context and sustainable. In sodoing, the project seeks to contribute to reducing the global malaria burden. Malaria Consortium’s role is to provide technical assistance that will help governments develop integrated vector control strategies (IVCS) and insecticide resistance management (IRM) plans. The support will ensure these are based on epidemiological and entomological indicators, current long-lasting insecticise nets (LLIN) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) coverage data, available resources for vector control and new tools. The IRM plans will articulate multi-year strategies, including the deployment of a rotational strategy for IRS anddecisions on which districts will receive new tools, such as piperonyl butoxide LLINs and other next-generation nets. The project activities will enhance evidence-based deployment of cost-effective interventions that optimally impact malaria morbidity and mortality. Moreover, the IRM plans will help prevent or delay insecticide resistance in major vectors through systematic resistance monitoring and management activities. The project will achieve it’s aim by developing a generic IVCS framework for malaria control,which consists of detailed guidelines and templates to capture the information needed to systematically developvarious sections of a national strategic plan, field-testing the framework in selected countries to develop evidence-based IVCS plans and supporting countries to develop their national IRM plans.”
