The U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) has partnered with country governments since 2006 in the fight against malaria, often taking the lead in implementing prevention efforts in malaria-endemic communities. Last year, PMI worked with Madagascar’s National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) to pilot a new approach, with NMCP staff in the driver’s seat to lead the implementation of the 2023 indoor residual spray (IRS) campaign in the Ankazoabo District.

In September, representatives from the NMCP, the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH), and the PMI Evolving Vector Control to Fight Malaria Project (PMI Evolve) selected Ankazoabo district for this pilot initiative. Ankazoabo was chosen based on its high incidence of malaria cases, its proven success in supporting prior campaigns led by PMI, and the availability of storage facilities for insecticide and other spray commodities. The group tapped three NMCP staff—a district coordinator, environmental compliance and safety officer, and finance and administrative assistant—to fully lead all IRS operations.

As a first step, PMI Evolve trained the three NMCP staff, reinforcing knowledge they had previously gained through observing PMI-led campaigns, and strengthening their abilities to lead trainings and engage local leaders and residents in the campaign.

Dr. Brusa Andriamino, the National Director of the MOPH’s Directorate for Transmissible Diseases, played a key role in helping to engage local actors. Noting that community participation would be critical to having a successful campaign, he said, “It was important that we engaged communities in the whole process, from the beginning of the campaign through to the end.”

Early in the planning stages, the NMCP IRS operations team met with representatives from the communities that would receive IRS, and spoke with traditional authorities, religious leaders, schoolteachers, village chiefs, and others. During these community education sessions, they shared messages about malaria prevention, the effectiveness of IRS, and what to expect from the campaign. At the same time, they were managing some of the essential pre-spray activities, including establishing a timeline for spray operations, identifying the operational sites, and recruiting spray team members from the local communities, and then training them.  

When the campaign launched in late October, the NMCP team assumed responsibility for the overall implementation of the day-to-day operations, including managing the spray teams, logistics, warehouses, and ensuring environmental compliance for insecticide usage, with support from PMI Evolve. PMI Evolve also provided close supervision and support to ensure that the IRS was delivered in accordance with both PMI and the Government of Madagascar standards, and to verify that the data collection was accurate and entered correctly in the daily monitoring and reporting process. With this light support, the government staff successfully completed the spraying of 20,613 structures in the community, protecting 85,385 people against malaria.

Dr. Andriamino characterized this first implementation of locally led IRS as a success. “This was a very practical training and exercise,which strengthened the local team’s ability to manage such a campaign,” he noted. “The local team learned how to conduct effective community dialogue. They also gained a deeper understanding of the importance of monitoring the campaign. The monitoring process was of primordial importance, as it gave the local team the opportunity to analyze any challenges, offer solutions in a timely manner, and keep the campaign on track.”   

Looking ahead to next year’s campaign, Dr. Andriamino is already thinking about ways to deepen community participation and increase the number of NMCP-led IRS districts. “In the future, we could involve community members more in the monitoring and data collection processes of the campaign,” he said. “We need to keep the dialogue going with the communities,” he said. “We need to inform communities of the results we have attained and listen to their advice for how things can be improved.”  

 

PMI Evolve has published its Year 1 Annual Report, providing an overview of the project work accomplished between January 1 and December 31, 2023. The report highlights the many achievements made through our work with the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), USAID Missions and Bureaus, and national malaria programs and their partners in 21 countries.

In Nigeria, communities have historically relied on information about mosquitoes, malaria parasites, and malaria transmission from government or aid groups. Now for the first time, community members, such as health worker Rashida Umar, are taking charge of understanding and teaching others about the complex mosquito populations in their communities, how to control them, and ways to protect themselves.

Rashida is one of five community health workers and six community residents recently selected by the local government. These community collectors were trained to conduct community-based entomological monitoring in the Dass Local Government Area of Bauchi State, Nigeria by the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative Evolving Vector Control to Fight Malaria Project (PMI Evolve). This is part of a groundbreaking pilot that PMI Evolve launched in October 2023 to enhance sustainability by shifting away from periodic mosquito sampling conducted by visiting experts, and instead relying on collections by community members in the places they live. Rashida was chosen because she has gained experience in mosquito collection methods under a prior PMI project.

“I am happy to see that PMI Evolve Nigeria is looking to change towards a community-based approach,” says Rashida. “It truly helps us in the community take control of our situation. PMI Evolve Nigeria has done an excellent job recognizing and empowering women to take part in the program and providing us with the necessary resources. I am excited to share this experience with my colleagues helping bring an end to malaria.”

According to PMI Evolve Vector Monitoring Specialist Grace Yina, engaging women health workers such as Rashida in this pilot has been critical to its success and sustainability in the highly conservative environment of northern Nigeria. “Based on socio-cultural beliefs, women are generally allowed into neighbor’s houses where the ‘Bashiga’ policy exists. This policy means that men are not allowed to enter households of non-related women, even if close neighbors,” says Grace. “The involvement of women in mosquito surveillance, especially at the community level, paves the way for greater acceptance and access, which allows them to collect the mosquito samples we need,” says Grace.

Rashida and the other community collectors received comprehensive lessons in mosquito biology, collection techniques, species identification, and insecticide resistance monitoring methods, and are now conducting mosquito collections every other month. PMI Evolve Nigeria is partnering with Bauchi State, Bauchi State Ministry of Health, and local government authorities who have expressed their enthusiastic support by selecting community collectors and mobilizing community leaders and health personnel to increase acceptance by the community members. To ensure adherence to entomological protocols, supervisors from local government and university partners are providing oversight.           

Equally important, the pilot is forging new connections between the environmental and community health workers, with members of both professions appreciating the role of the other in health care delivery within the communities they serve. Their efforts are also shifting public perceptions that mosquito collection and vector control is confined to specialists in entomology.

As the pilot progresses, the communities themselves are becoming more alert to mosquito threats, receptive to interventions, and eager to stamp out transmission for good, which has further led to community collectors taking greater ownership, proposing improvements, and advocating for resources, to make the work sustainable.

Nigeria’s ambitious community-based malaria collection pilot demonstrates the power of decentralized processes to drive local action. When community members such as Rashida Umar lead the way, communities are empowered, community members better understand the disease, and eliminating malaria finally seems within reach.

The U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) VectorLink Project was a global, six-year program that ran from October 2017 through September 2023. The project’s goal was to support PMI in conducting entomological monitoring, indoor residual spraying (IRS), distribution of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), and other proven, life-saving malaria vector control interventions to reduce the burden of malaria. PMI VectorLink worked with national malaria programs and their partners in 25 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as Cambodia and Colombia, to strengthen their capacity to plan and implement cost-effective, evidence-based, and sustainable malaria control activities. Through these efforts, millions of people were protected from malaria, year after year.

The PMI VectorLink Project Final Report highlights the project’s achievements in the areas of strengthening country capacity and advancing integrated vector control. It also looks at how PMI VectorLink used data to drive vector control decisions; contributed to global malaria research and best practices; and helped countries keep their malaria services resilient during times of crises. Through these efforts, millions of people were protected from malaria, year after year.

Rwanda

Juliet Murekatete, the vice mayor for social affairs in Rwanda’s Nyagatare District, is a true malaria warrior. Originally a teacher, Juliet’s passion for Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) stems from surviving a severe case of malaria that affected her for over three years. Since 2019, she has been an active participant in Nyagatare district’s IRS operations, taking part in IRS spray campaigns and sharing her knowledge with all 653,861 people in her community. Juliet recently took the time to speak with us to discuss her work and the difference she is making in Nyagatare district.

Tell us about yourself and your career, and what has made you go out and take part in the IRS campaigns. 

I originally studied education to become a teacher and in 2013, I became a head teacher. In 2018, I became the vice mayor of the Nyagatare district in charge of social affairs (education, health, and social development) and the welfare of the community. Before assuming this role, I did not know anything about IRS. I became educated about IRS when malaria started affecting my household. The spraying of IRS completely ended the threat of mosquitoes in my house, which led me in 2019 to start to work with the IRS team. Being a victim of malaria and suffering for more than three years, constantly being hospitalized and going to health centers, I feel that I must be involved so that I can help protect my constituents and have them learn about IRS and take part in it.

You have made an impact in your district by taking part in IRS campaigns. Can you describe the process and challenges that you go through?

The process is intense, but we work well together to achieve our goal. First, we involve the local leaders, community health workers, and others to plan the activities. To take the process to the next step, we train the spray operators and hold trainings for local leaders. After the trainings, we communicate our campaign spray plan by radio, social media, and mobile alerts to mobilize people to prepare their communities. As well, awareness campaigns are done in churches that partner with us, and we hold community meetings every Tuesday to share our messages.

We face many challenges as well, including people reluctant to have their homes sprayed, although that number has been reduced. People also ask why IRS spraying can’t happen twice a year, but we only spray once a year in August. Lastly, the three largest sectors in Nyagatare district—Karangazi, Rwimiyaga, and Nyagatare—are extremely spread out with scattered houses that pose challenges given how spread out they are. But we don’t complain, and the spray teams get the work done.

What impact have you seen in the community by visiting households and promoting IRS?

We hear a lot of testimonials, first, that the awareness of the benefits of IRS has increased. When we are supervising, some people tell us that the community health workers circle back to people whose houses were missed because these household members come to them saying they want IRS, and they don’t want their houses to be missed. The difference from 2018 to 2023 is outstanding. People are prepared ahead of time for the campaign and go on with their days as usual while the spraying is conducted. We also continue to mobilize the community for other, secondary preventative measures even when we’re not spraying, such as clearing bushes, sleeping under the nets, and using other methods. This is our best way to reduce malaria.

What do you find most challenging and rewarding about your work?

As noted, some of the sectors within our district are quite spread out and rural, and this is challenging for the teams that must reach all these houses. Another thing is that we have new households that come from other districts where IRS isn’t being done (so they may be reluctant to have their homes sprayed), but we use community mobilization to address this challenge.

My work is extremely rewarding. First off and most importantly, cases are decreasing. I am also happy about the partnerships that we have created, under the leadership of His Excellency Paul Kagame. I enjoy the process of spraying– double-checking which houses are not yet sprayed and completing everything within 20 days (a regular campaign schedule). I’m proud of our system and our partnership with PMI Evolve and the district and support from USAID and the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative.

What are your hopes for the future of Rwanda in terms of malaria control and prevention?

My hope for the future in terms of malaria control is that with these measures and the good professionals on our team, we can end malaria.

What would you like more people in Rwanda to know about mosquitoes and malaria?

First of all, mosquitoes and malaria can be eradicated and with our combined (or joint) efforts, we can do this. We need a commitment to sustain and eradicate malaria. To achieve this, everyone should be concerned and aware of their opportunities to help us protect themselves (sleeping under nets, clearing brush). Our partners are here to help us, and we want everyone to be engaged. Malaria can kill people and prevent the development of our country. Please, make a strong and sustained effort to respect all measures taken by our leaders and their partners to help us end malaria together.

Remarkable progress in reducing malaria morbidity and mortality has been made over the past two decades, with an estimated 2 billion malaria infections prevented and 11.7 million lives saved. The core vector control interventions—insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS)—have contributed significantly to this progress and are essential tools in the global effort to end malaria faster. However, progress has stalled worldwide amid a myriad of threats such as widespread resistance to pyrethroid insecticides and emerging resistance to other classes of insecticides among mosquito populations.

With the introduction of new vector control products in response to these threats, National Malaria Programs (NMPs) increasingly need to make data-driven decisions at the sub-national level. PMI VectorLink, in collaboration with NMPs, prioritized the importance of integrated data analytics, visualization, and evaluation to help inform vector control decisions and strategies. By partnering with NMPs to conduct impact evaluations using routine data, PMI VectorLink generated the localized evidence needed to support these vector control intervention decisions.

Results from seven evaluations completed under PMI VectorLink found the following key takeaways:

• Newer IRS and ITN products with non-pyrethroid insecticides were effective at reducing malaria burden and entomological indicators of malaria transmission in settings of confirmed pyrethroid resistance.
• Dual active ingredient (dual-AI) and piperonylbutoxide (PBO) ITNs had a greater epidemiological impact compared to standard pyrethroid-only ITNs.
• The impact of IRS may differ significantly by climate related transmission setting and patterns of ITN use.
• Sustained implementation of IRS over multiple years and higher levels of IRS coverage may provide additional benefits

Results and key takeaways from these seven studies are gathered in a new technical brief, Evaluating the impact of vector control interventions: Results from the PMI VectorLink Project. Read the full brief here.

With the introduction of new indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide-treated net (ITN) vector control tools, national malaria programs increasingly need to make data-driven, subnational decisions. 

On Wednesday, August 23, PMI Evolve and the RBM Partnership’s Vector Control Working Group hosted a webinar, Evaluating the Impact of IRS and ITNs: Lessons from PMI VectorLink. Panelists included Dr. Vincent Sanogo, a consultant for the NMCP Cote d’Ivoire, who shared insights into the country’s use of clothianidin-based insecticides for IRS in 2020 and 2021; and Dr. Aïssata Koné, director of the NMCP Mali, who discussed her country’s experience using the new dual active ingredient (dual-AI) ITNs. Joining them were three PMI Evolve team members who have worked on these impact evaluations, Dr. Sarah Burnett, director of integrated data analytics; Emily Hilton, research associate; and Natalie Gales, impact evaluation and data associate. The event was moderated by Hannah Koenker, a senior technical advisor for PMI Evolve and the RBM Partnership Vector Control Working Group’s Workstream 1 |Task team 4 Co-Lead.
