malaria surveillance, entomological monitoring, and drug efficacy monitoring.

Monitoring will include entomological monitoring, including insecticide resistance monitoring, and therapeutic efficacy monitoring.

With the improved epidemiological and entomological data gained during the implementation of this Cooperative Agreement, the Recipient and government partners will be able to refine responses to outbreaks and foci of transmission and adjust IRS and other vector control interventions in zones with differing transmission profiles.

The target populations of TMSM are pregnant women and children under five.
