Proposed malaria research:
Sub-national tailoring of interventions for malaria elimination in Benin: a mathematical modelling approach

Malaria has been a significant public health challenge in Benin republic, with a high incidence rate and a substantial socio-economic burden. In light of the WHO's Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016–2030, which targets malaria elimination in at least 30 countries by 2030, and the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) of Benin’s goal to eliminate malaria by the same year, this research aims to support the NMCP using mathematical modelling to evaluate and optimize malaria interventions.
