Project information
Country support
Over the past decade, substantial progress has been made in reducing the global burden of malaria. This has led an increasing number of countries to consider the possibility of malaria elimination.
We have worked with the WHO Global Malaria Programme, the Clinton Health Access Initiative and other academic partners to help develop the Elimination Scenario Planning Tool to provide guidance for National Malaria Control Programmes (NMCP) on how to assess the technical, operational and financial feasibility of moving to elimination. This includes a guidance manual published by the WHO Global Malaria Programme.
Most recent exercises have involved providing technical support for NMCP teams to help guide new national malaria strategy development in Haiti, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda and most recently in Senegal and Gambia. We also work closely with the NMCC in Zambia to support strategic planning through the Malaria Modelling Consortium.
MINT software
We have a webtool now available that allows the user to explore the use of pyrethroid-only long-lasting mosquito nets (pyrethroid-LLINs), pyrethroid-PBO ITNs and indoor residual spraying of long-lasting insecticide (IRS), or the combination of these interventions. The interface is flexible to allow different costs and usage estimates and combines baseline endemicity, mosquito bionomics and resistance profiles with outcomes for impact and cost-effectiveness. The interface is still in development but can be accessed here: https://mint.dide.ic.ac.uk
