The IVCC is a Product Development Partnership (PDP) established as a not for profit company and registered charity to overcome the barriers to innovation in the development of new insecticides for public health vector control and to develop information systems and tools which will enable new and existing pesticides to be used more effectively.
Vector control has been a cornerstone of every effective campaign to control vector borne diseases such as malaria and dengue, and the current focus on malaria elimination will depend on increasingly effective and affordable vector control interventions. These interventions are under threat from the emergence and spread of insecticide resistance, and limitations in the ways that insecticides are used.
IVCC has demonstrated that the PDP business model has been effective in unlocking the latent enthusiasm of our partners in both the global pest control industry and research institutions for development of new public health insecticides. As a result an unprecedented pipeline of new product development programmes is emerging.
Our mission statement is to improve health by enabling partnerships for the accelerated development and delivery of new products and tools that increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the control of insects which transmit disease.
