The evaluation process for vector control products

Overview

The purpose of this information note is to describe the revised evaluation process following the transition from the WHO Pesticide Evaluation Scheme (WHOPES) to the WHO Prequalification Team (PQT), including a description of the role of the Vector Control Advisory Group (VCAG) as part of this process. It outlines the two pathways and their associated components, and is meant to guide interactions between product developers/manufacturers and WHO.
