USAID Malaria Vector Control Activity (MVCA)

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania is publishing this Request for Information (RFI) to obtain information and inputs from all capable and interested entities for the anticipated USAID Malaria Vector Control Activity designed to identify and implement proven, evidence-based vector control approaches in Tanzania, in support of reducing the overall malaria burden, and moving Tanzania closer to malaria elimination. The purpose of the activity is to identify and implement proven, evidence-based vector control approaches in Tanzania, in support of reducing the overall malaria burden, and moving Tanzania closer to malaria elimination. This activity does not include implementation of indoor residual spraying (IRS) or larval source management. The activity has three primary components: (1) Insecticide-treated mosquito net (ITN) distribution, (2) Social and behavior change (SBC) for ITN use and other vector control interventions, and (3) Entomology Monitoring, and use of data to provide quality technical expertise to the Government of Tanzania and malaria partners on technical guidance concerning new developments in vector control, and as appropriate, develop plans for implementation of modified or new vector control approaches in Tanzania.
