DRIVEN TO END MALARIA: NOW WE CAN. NOW WE MUST.
Innovation in Malaria Control
Malaria control is evolving — driven by innovation and smarter strategies.
Next-generation ITNs, including pyrethroid–chlorfenapyr nets, are improving control in resistant settings.
Spatial emanators are expanding protection where conventional tools fall short.
Malaria vaccines are now scaling up, adding a critical layer of protection for young children.

Malaria vaccines are now scaling up, adding a critical layer of protection for young children.
At the African Institute for Research in Infectious Diseases (AIRID), we generate the evidence needed to guide these advances.
Our work includes:
- Evaluation of next-generation vector control tools
- Operational research to support effective deployment of new tools, including vaccines
The future is integration. Impact will come from coordinated, data-driven interventions tailored to local contexts.
AIRID is committed to ensuring Africa leads the science shaping malaria control and elimination.
