This multidisciplinary interventional research project (epidemiology, entomology, biology and socio-anthropology) aims to support the National Malaria Control Program (PNLP) of Benin in the implementation of its national strategy. It is divided into two main axes. The first axis will focus on strengthening the sentinel network that the PNLP is setting up in the territory. It will include epidemiological and entomological surveillance, and the carrying out of community socio-anthropological surveys. The second axis will consist of co-constructing and implementing a cluster trial to test the effectiveness of the strategy.
