Global strategic framework for integrated vector management

Overview

The Global Strategic Framework on Integrated Vector Management (IVM) sets out new and broad principles and approaches to vector control that are applicable to all vector-borne diseases. Integrated vector management seeks to improve the efficacy, cost-effectiveness, ecological soundness and sustainability of disease vector control. This Framework is intended to provide orientation to policy-makers within WHO and Member States on the development and implementation of IVM, and to strengthen collaboration with donors and other United Nations agencies, notably the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
