The thirteenth annual meeting of the VCWG counted 270 partners from national vector-borne disease control programs, industry, international and bi-lateral development organizations, NGOs, academic and research institutions based in 48 countries worldwide. Over two and a half days, the meeting aimed to refine the priorities of the workstream and focused on developing the two-year work plans for collective action to meet the challenges of vector control. The diversity of the VCWG provides a unique platform to build capacity, develop and deploy tools and strategies for a sustained and broad-based global response to vector-borne diseases.
