Webinar: Identifying Challenges and Opportunities in LLIN Continuous Distribution Systems
Results from Process Assessments in Three sub-Saharan African Countries. In 2018, The United States President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) VectorLink project undertook long-lasting insecticide-treated net (LLIN) continuous distribution system assessments in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, and Niger. The assessment design built on the global learning and successes of work by the Alliance for Malaria Prevention (AMP) on distribution systems. The objectives were to describe the current status of country systems and identify and prioritize improvements with the potential to bring efficiency gains…

Webinaire: Identifier les Défis et les Opportunités des Systèmes de Distribution Continue de LLIN
Résultats des évaluations de processus dans trois pays d'Afrique subsaharienne. En 2018, le projet VectorLink de l'Initiative du Président des États-Unis sur le paludisme (PMI) a entrepris des évaluations du système de distribution continue des moustiquaires imprégnées d'insecticide (LLIN) au Burkina Faso, au Cameroun et au Niger. La conception de l’évaluation s’appuie sur l’apprentissage global et les succès des travaux de l’Alliance pour la Prévention du Paludisme (AMP) sur les systèmes de distribution. Les objectifs étaient de décrire l’état actuel…

Webinar! Mapping 101 with Maxar: How Geospatial Data Improves Planning and Implementation in Vector Control
Presenters: Matt Hallas, Maxar and Solomon Wasse, PMI VectorLink Ethiopia Matt Hallas from Maxar Technologies and Solomon Wasse from PMI VectorLink Ethiopia discuss the application of geospatial data for the purposes of improving the planning and implementation of vector control interventions. Satellite imagery and data derived from high-resolution imagery can be used to accurately map the distribution of populations, which is particularly beneficial in regions that historically have been unmapped. After quickly covering the basics of extracting information from satellite imagery,…
