Vector control innovation
When insecticide-based vector control tools—methods used to reduce mosquito populations and disease transmission—are consistently applied, they have proven highly effective in reducing malaria, particularly in Africa.

IVCC supports and undertakes world-class leading research and development to improve and extend the range of vector control tools to address the threat posed by insecticide resistance.
Our goal in the next five years is to maintain the relevance of IRS as a tailored vector control intervention and help maintain a minimum of three, different, non-pyrethroid modes of action for IRS that are effective against resistant mosquitoes.
IVCC develops new insecticides and net technologies for ITNs, including repurposed agricultural insecticides and novel active ingredients, to improve the quality and performance of ITNs, reduce malaria transmission, and enhance mosquito control efforts.
