Abt Associates – VectorLink: CommCare for Reducing Malaria
Project Overview
The Malaria Initiative Africa Indoor Residual Spraying (PMI AIRS) program is dedicated to reducing malaria in Africa through an innovative, community-driven approach that includes Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS). IRS involves spraying insecticide on the walls, ceilings, and other common indoor resting places of mosquitoes.
In 2014, Dimagi joined the US President Malaria Initiative (PMI) and Abt Associates to provide an mHealth solution for sustainable intervention. The tools and systems provide efficient access to daily spray activity indicators and improve supervisory efforts. The project has resulted in preventing millions from contracting malaria throughout the African continent.
