The newly published World Malaria Report 2024 highlights a significant milestone: 78% of nets in Sub-Saharan Africa are now dual AI and PBO nets. This marks substantial progress in malaria prevention, offering enhanced protection against insecticide-resistant mosquitoes. However, the fight against malaria is far from over. With increasing challenges from climate change, humanitarian crises, drug and insecticide resistance we must redouble our efforts. Let's leverage emerging technologies, sustainable funding, and global collaboration to achieve universal coverage and accelerate progress towards malaria elimination. Read our reflections on the progress made and challenges in the fight against malaria between 2023 and 2024: https://lnkd.in/eX337W5a #WMR2024 #EndMalaria

About us
IVCC is the only Product Development Partnership (PDP) working in vector control. IVCC was established in 2005, through a $50 million grant to the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and is a registered charity in the UK. We work with stakeholders to facilitate the development of novel and improved public health insecticides and formulations to combat the rapidly growing problem of insecticide resistance. We bring together partners from industry, the public sector and academia to create new solutions to prevent disease transmission. By focusing resources and targeting practical scientific solutions we accelerate the process from innovation to impact. IVCC’s mission is to facilitate innovative approaches to preventing vector-borne diseases by directly targeting the vector which transmits the disease. Where vector control has been consistently applied in the past, the results have been impressive, with 78% of averted clinical cases of malaria being attributed to bed nets and Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS). However, the success of vector control tools is threatened by the development and spread of insecticide resistance.IVCC is working with a range of partners to facilitate the development of novel and improved public health insecticides, formulations and products to address these challenges. An integral part of preventing insect-borne diseases is ensuring that vector control products are integrated into country level control programmes and have an equitable impact amongst all countries and people that need them. IVCC’s Global Access Strategy is driven by the need for products emerging from the Research and Development Portfolio to be available, affordable, acceptable and adopted. Additionally, as new anti-malaria insecticides become available it will be important to manage the use of these new products in order to prevent a new round of insecticide resistance from developing.

📢 Exciting Opportunity! IVCC has launched a call for proposals to advance vector control tools for malaria by addressing the critical gaps in the existing toolbox. While current methods primarily target indoor mosquito behaviour, we’re looking for Proof of Concept (PoC) projects that target aspects of the mosquito lifecycle beyond indoor feeding and resting. This is a chance for stakeholders across geographies and disciplines to contribute to the malaria fight with fresh ideas and technologies. Apply now or share this with your networks to help us reach a global audience: https://ow.ly/n6iV50U6nNm Deadline for expressions of interest: 16th December 2024.

The fight against malaria requires innovative solutions to tackle growing insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. 🦟💡 Our core funding for the Ifakara Health Institute (IHI) is a critical investment in discovering new tools to save lives. IHI plays a key role in our vector control pipeline, rigorously testing new active ingredients to address this pressing challenge.

Why have three African countries successfully eliminated #malaria, while others continue to face challenges? The latest episode of the Global Health Matters podcast by World Health Organization explores this pressing question with insights from two inspiring women leaders, Corine Karema and Francine Ntoumi, in the malaria fight. This episode dives into the strategies driving elimination efforts and the barriers that remain. As IVCC continues to lead innovation in vector control, it’s critical to listen to these perspectives on what it will take to achieve global malaria elimination. 🌍🦟 Tune in to the podcast here: https://ow.ly/8IOK50TMNPs Rear a perspective on the episode on Health Policy Watch here: https://ow.ly/vNwR50TMNPt #MalariaElimination #GlobalHealth #VectorControl #Innovation #PublicHealth
