Maximizing the Impact of Vector Control with Entomological Surveillance – A practitioner’s quick guide (August 2026)

Malaria programs face massive budget cuts, and hard choices about what to keep and what to cut are underway. Entomological surveillance is an early target. This guide from CHAI & UCSF’s Entomology for Impact Initiative (EII) is intended to help program staff navigate those choices well — not to argue that everything should be preserved, but to clarify what data are needed to make key vector control decisions and what a right-sized program looks like under severe resource constraints.
