Sengal’s entire population of 13.3 million people is at risk of malaria. The President’s Malaria Initiative has supported IRS in Senegal since 2007.
Indoor Residual Spraying Areas
In 2015, AIRS Senegal successfully conducted spray operations in the four target districts of Malem Hoddar, Koungheul, Koumpentoum, and Nioro. AIRS Senegal continued to use the SMS platform to collect and disseminate spray campaign data on a daily basis to PMI and local stakeholders. The project used a smartphone application for delivering standardized supervision throughout the campaign, thereby improving the overall quality of the spray campaign. Six mobile soak pits were used in three sites (Koumpentoum, Malem Hoddar, and Nioro).
Impact
Senegal has made remarkable progress in malaria control. Since 2005, all-cause mortality rates for children under five in Senegal have decreased by 40%, according to the Malaria Indicator Survey. Read the Senegal PMI Country Profile to learn more.
