APMEN supports countries in Asia Pacific to collaboratively pursue the goal of regional malaria elimination through knowledge exchange, strengthening technical and operational capacities, building the evidence base for policy change and implementation, and supporting leadership and advocacy efforts for malaria.
APMEN has three Working Groups (Surveillance & Response, Vector Control and Vivax) that represent the core technical areas where the capacity of National Malaria Programs needs to be assured for countries to reach malaria elimination. The Working Groups lie at the heart of APMEN’s technical expertise.
Objectives
The three working Groups share the common objectives of:
- Providing a platform to share research and operational experience;
- Sharing technical expertise between APMEN Country partners, where relevant and appropriate; and
- Developing partnerships with key stakeholders involved in regional and sub-regional elimination efforts.
The guiding principles on which the Working Groups’ objectives are based around mutual support, a jointly managed knowledge base and shared technical expertise and collaboration.
