On October 18, 2022, the RBM Vector Control Working Group (VCWG) hosted a special session on Engaging the Private Sector in Vector Control, focusing on strategies, experiences, successes, and lessons learned. Held online via Zoom. 

Discussions centered on Workstream 1: Enhancing the Impact of Core Interventions (IRS and ITNs), particularly through Task Team 3, which focuses on capacity building, localization, and private sector involvement for sustainable vector control. The session highlighted the critical role of private sector partnerships in strengthening malaria prevention efforts, with insights from Task Team 3 Co-leads: Sam Asiedu (AngloGold Ashanti Malaria Control, Ghana) and Jessica Rockwood (International Public Health Advisors). This session reinforced the importance of cross-sector collaboration in achieving sustainable and effective vector control solutions.
