Tóm tắt :

1. Vector-borne diseases (VBDs) are responsible for 17% of the global communicable disease burdenand cause over 700 000 deaths per year. In response to the increasing challenge of VBDs and at the requestof Member States, WHO has developed the Global vector control response 2017–2030 (GVCR), as astrategy to strengthen vector control worldwide.2. The WHO African Region has a high burden of VBDs such as malaria, arboviruses andschistosomiasis. The World malaria report 2018 estimates that there were 219 million cases of malaria and435 000 deaths in 2017, with 92% and 93% respectively occurring in Africa. Ten Member States reportedan estimated 3.5 million more malaria cases compared to 2016. Arbovirus disease epidemics are on theincrease in the Region. Over 440 million people remain at risk of yellow fever in Africa. Dengue fever isendemic in 29 Member States. Approximately 190 million people in Africa required schistosomiasispreventive treatment in 2016. Vector control efforts have faced various challenges including insecticideresistance, uncertain sustainability of interventions, and suboptimal surveillance and control. Others areclimatic and environmental risk factors, poor partner collaboration and coordination, and lack of evidencefor decision-making. Additional constraints include deficient emergency and epidemic response, limitedhuman resources, and health system weaknesses.3. The objective of the Regional framework is to guide countries in planning and implementing priorityactions of the GVCR in the context of their local situations, particularly: (1) to strengthen institutional,infrastructural and human capacity, including basic and applied research; (2) to strengthen collaboration,community participation, integration of tools and approaches across diseases, and to enhance vectorsurveillance and monitoring and evaluation; and (3) to strengthen national policy formulation, leadership;advocacy, resource mobilization and partner coordination. The framework includes milestones for 2022and 2025 and targets defined for 2019–2030. The Regional framework will be guided by principles thatensure effective and locally adaptive vector control systems for maximum and sustainable impact. Theframework will facilitate attainment of the Thirteenth General Programme of Work outcomes, and thepertinent Sustainable Development Goals.4. The Regional framework outlines national and regional priority interventions and actions associatedwith defined targets and progress indicators. Targets and indicators will guide realignment andstrengthening of vector control and surveillance programmes. Consequently, they will also help to improveimplementation and efficiency of VBD control activities for better sustainability of human resources andoperations, greater impact and cost savings, to ultimately achieve the reduction of the disease-specificburden and threat.5. The Regional Committee reviewed and adopted the framework. 10 p.
