Building entomological experimental huts in Ivory Coast

The fight against malaria is a collective one, and winning it requires expertise and training facilities as well as the development of skills along the value chain. To help in this effort, Envu supported an Ivory Coast community in building entomological experimental huts. These huts are built to help assess product efficacy against mosquitoes by mimicking real living conditions. They are a key asset for a country because they facilitate the evaluation of products to help in the fight against malaria and arboviruses. Construction of the experimental huts in Agboville and surrounding towns began in February 2023 and was completed in November 2023. In December 2023, we handed over the keys of the experimental huts to the Ivory Coast Ministry of Health, Public Hygiene and Universal Health Coverage. This activity represented a milestone in building local capacity in the fight against deadly diseases.
