Monitoring and Evaluation, and Surveillance Group Overview
Improved and new tools and stratgies for monitoring, evaluation, and surveillance are needed to track of program intervention coverage, impact on cases and transmission, and progress towards elimination/eradication. New survey tools may help to measure transmission more simply and directly, thus enabling detection of 'hot spots' requiring additional resource allocation. Surveillance definitions must be standardized, and surveillance methodology and supporting technologies, such as information systems and data management must be developed to accurately track cases in real-time to target program response and limit outbreaks. In addition to case surveillance, improved and new tools may also be needed to track resistance to antimalarial drugs, vector control activities, and potentially, vaccines.
