The 16th Annual Meeting of the RBM Vector Control Working Group (VCWG) convened virtually, bringing together 411 participants from 54 countries across all WHO regions. With representation from malaria-affected and malaria-free countries alike, the meeting fostered global collaboration on vector control innovations and implementation strategies.
Over five dynamic sessions, 55 speakers and moderators shared insights, driving discussions on cutting-edge tools and approaches. Participants from 162 organizations—including governments, NGOs, academia, civil society, the private sector, and multilateral institutions—contributed to shaping the future of vector control.
With a growing network of over 1,700 subscribers, VCWG continues to connect professionals with the latest updates on vector control initiatives, guidelines, and opportunities. This year’s meeting was made possible through the generous support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) via the Global malaria project at Swiss TPH.
