Qista in Senegal: launching the Moniprev project in Kaolack

The Moniprev project funded by the General Directorate of the Treasury is launched! The city of Kaolack will benefit from the installation of 104 ecological anti-mosquito terminals to fight against malaria alongside the PNLP (National Program for the Fight against Malaria).

1st field trip successfully carried out in the department of Kaolack, beneficiary of the MONIPREV project. A precise identification of the areas to be protected was carried out. This trip allowed the Qista team in charge of the project to meet with the major players who made this project possible.

WHAT IS THIS PROJECT?
The mission is twofold: to protect areas infested with malaria and to monitor potential mosquito production areas. In the end, 104 anti-mosquito terminals will be deployed in the territory of Kaolack to protect men, women and children! The protection of schools and health establishments such as the hospital and medical centers is the priority. Each trap will be able to monitor mosquito activity. This valuable information will allow local health authorities to have an overview of the evolution of vector risk.
