Malaria vector control and surveillance for countries in West Africa nearing elimination
Ler em Português
Several areas in West Africa are nearing malaria elimination, either at a national or regional level. The WADE (West African network for Decision-making for malaria Elimination) is a Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) network set up to exchange expertise and skills within the region and to foster future collaborations to facilitate the road to malaria elimination. The network consists of researchers and Ministry staff from Cape Verde, Senegal, Gambia, São Tomé and Príncipe, Guinea-Bissau and the UK.
This webinar will present a series of short talks detailing ongoing vector control work from our partner countries or methods which may be useful to consider implementing in the region. We will hear from a range of Ministry staff and researchers.
Presentations will be followed by an interactive discussion with the panellists and audience, to discuss the work presented, as well as to think of future potential opportunities for WADE partners to work towards malaria elimination.
