Forecasting outbreak risks from extreme climate with active surveillance technology - FORECAST
Malaria Consortium and project partners aim to improve Uganda’s resilience to mosquito-borne diseases in the face of escalating climate-related challenges, by strengthening the capacity of the country’s surveillance system. This involves developing predictive models and a risk mapping system, as well as enhancing the national outbreak preparedness and response plan. Taking these steps will enable timely identification and mitigation of mosquito-borne disease outbreaks, reducing their impact on populations living in vulnerable circumstances.
