At its largest meeting to date, 136 members of the Roll Back Malaria Vector Control Working Group (VCWG) gathered for the 6th time to discuss current and emerging issues on global malaria vector control. Representing a range of regions, national programmes and organizations, participants reviewed progress made to date by the working group’s eight workstreams. A work plan for 2011 was also established, to be coordinated with WHO’s Global Malaria Programme and partners.
