Policy Briefs

This policy brief presents key findings from a desk review on the integration of vector control in Malawi’s large-scale irrigation schemes. It reveals limited emphasis on water-based vector-borne diseases in national policies, a lack of coordination among key sectors such as health, agriculture, and water, and insufficient community engagement in disease prevention efforts. The brief outlines evidence-based recommendations to address these gaps and promote effective multi-sectoral collaboration.
