eSPT

Developing an entomological surveillance plan to guide malaria vector control decisions can be a daunting task. With so many potential data collection methods and sampling strategies, how do you choose the right ones to meet your program’s needs? The electronic Entomological Surveillance Planning Tool (eSPT) can help. The eSPT guides you through a step-by-step process of developing an entomological surveillance plan, from formulating the questions you want to answer to defining the sampling frequency and budget required. Building on existing resources developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), the eSPT packages this guidance in an easy-to-understand way.
