The WHO Global Malaria Programme (GMP) is seeking public comment on preferred product characteristics (PPCs) for malaria vector control interventions. PPCs are becoming a key tool for WHO to incentivize and guide the development of urgently needed health products.
WHO’s PPCs aim to:
- communicate identified unmet public health needs;
- stimulate development of relevant new products to meet these needs;
- facilitate timely and effective assessment of new products and the formulation of policy recommendations and prequalification listings.
Within GMP, the Vector Control & Insecticide Resistance Unit has begun developing a series of PPCs. The first 2 of these are concerned with insecticide-treated nets for malaria transmission control in areas with insecticide-resistant mosquito populations, and vector control interventions designed for malaria transmission control in complex emergencies and in response to disasters associated with natural hazards.
Interested parties may provide their comments by 31 July 2020 via the surveys below.
