Aims.
Across the Pacific region, mosquito-borne diseases like dengue, malaria, Zika and chikungunya affect people’s lives and livelihoods. The best option to prevent these diseases is surveillance and control of mosquitoes.
We are a consortium of partners supporting countries of the region to strengthen capacity for mosquito surveillance and control. We assist with situation reviews, strategic planning, training and mentoring, and equip countries with technical guidance, equipment and supplies, operations research and citizen science skills, and data management tools.
