Read our Programmatic Summary for 2022-2023 here, which provides a snapshot of our work that has direct implications for both human health biodiversity conservation in one of the most challenging and complex environments on the planet: the Lake Tanganyika Basin in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
We highlight the critical intersection of health, environment, and community in a region burdened with high malaria incidence and a complex socio-political landscape, and we describe the innovative approaches and multi-sectoral collaborations that we take to understand and improve the lives of lakeshore communities. We have made great strides in gathering multi-sectoral indicators to understand health, livelihoods, and security. This holistic data collection approach is instrumental in creating the foundational knowledge we need to accomplish our medium-term goal, which is to craft effective, community-tailored solutions for malaria control that are context appropriate.
You can also learn about the challenges we continually face while carrying out this vital work, how we overcome them, and the progress we have made toward improving the lives of some of the poorest populations in the world, and our vision for how we can significantly reduce malaria in this region.
