    Vector control in humanitarian disaster condition

    Implementation of appropriate vector control interventions is crucial to prevent the transmission of malaria and other vector-borne disease. Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs), Long lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLINs), and Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) remain the core interventions recommended by WHO, as well as the integration of supplementary interventions, such as larval source management, as and where appropriate. Efficient planning, monitoring, and evaluation activities are central to ensuring that these interventions remain as effective as possible in areas where they are distributed.

    This section provides guidance and toolkits for planning, mentoring and evaluation, and quality assurance for conducting and maintaining efficient vector control operations across all malaria endemic settings.

    The WHO Guidelines for malaria has launched to bring together the most up-to-date recommendations for malaria in one user-friendly and easy-to-navigate online platform. They are designed to support malaria-affected countries in their efforts to reduce and, ultimately, eliminate a disease that continues to claim more than 400.000 lives each year.

    Vector control and personal protection of migrant and mobile populations in the GMS: A matrix guidance on the best options and methodologies

    Given their labour or other practices, mobile and migrant populations may have increased exposure to malaria mosquitoes. They are also more likely to have incomplete knowledge of malaria and lower access to preventive measures, and thus require targeted interventions that take into account their specific needs and the nature of their situation. From the broader public health perspective, it is also important to target mobile and migrant populations and their host communities that they pass through, live in or return to with vector control measures given the well-documented link between migration and the spread of malaria in the GMS, particularly in border areas, and the potential spread of multidrug resistant parasites due to population movements in malaria-endemic areas and across borders. This is a toolkit to guide the management and implementation of malaria prevention programmes for mobile and migrant populations in the GMS. It is targeted to people and ogranizations that already have some experience in malaria prevention, particularly national programme managers and programme staff working with mobile groups.
