Vector Learning Xchange

Welcome to the Vector LearningXchange, Roll Back Malaria’s collaborative site where vector control stakeholders from around the world can learn from one another on the most effective ways to prevent malaria. We aim to provide best practices, tools, trainings and lessons learned on vector control operations, entomological monitoring and surveillance, environmental compliance, monitoring and evaluation, community mobilization and social behavior change, capacity building, and gender inclusion. We also provide you with the latest data on insecticide resistance (IR) and resistance management.
