Over three days, the eighth annual meeting of the Vector Control Working Group at the Roll Back Malaria Partnership (RBM) spotlighted the latest evidence on effective malaria vector control management and provided RBM partners with a platform to develop plans for supporting effectively country efforts in 2013. Topical issues for discussions include capacity building for indoor residual spraying (IRS), insecticide resistance and entomological management.
