Implement efficient vector surveillance and digitalize entomological data for real-time analysis

• Undertake regular vector surveillance by appropriate techniques to monitor vector prevalence, seasonality and bionomics in representative eco-epidemiological settings in the country
• Monitor and manage insecticide resistance in vector species
• Report accurate and complete entomological data timely for analysis, risk assessment and undertaking appropriate interventions
• Develop capacity for digitalizing data and implement a real-time web-based system for vector surveillance and geospatial risk mapping for assessing transmission risk
• Strengthen capacity for integrated vector surveillance
• Update standard operating procedures for vector surveillance

Apply vector control based on an integrated vector management approach to interrupt dengue transmission

• Undertake situational analysis and stratify risk areas based on entomological and epidemiological data and apply appropriate vector control interventions including regulatory measures
• Strengthen the managerial, technical and logistic capacity of public health staff for planning and implementing vector control based on the IVM approach
• Monitor the implementation of vector control interventions applied and evaluate the impact on dengue transmission
• Update vector control guidelines and standard operating procedures
• Facilitate trials of novel interventions and test the bio-efficacy of insecticidal products including WHO pre-qualified products
• Improve the capacity of public health staff for pesticide management

Integrated vector management (IVM) is a rational decision-making process that encourages optimal use of resources for efficient, cost-effective and sustainable vector control
