A two-day workshop aimed at harnessing technology to eliminate malaria kicked off on February 10th at Palms by Eagle in Accra, Ghana.
The event, themed “From Mapping to Action: Tech-Enabled LSM for Malaria Elimination,” brings together experts from 13 African countries.
The workshop focuses on Larval Source Management (LSM), a key malaria intervention, and explores how tech tools like drone mapping, AI detection, and satellite data can make LSM more scalable and efficient.
Participants will learn best practices in LSM, identify breeding sites using drones and satellites, classify risk using AI, and plan interventions through micro-planning.
The event is hosted by Ghana’s National Malaria Elimination Program in collaboration with AngloGold Ashanti, SORA Technology, and Zzapp Technology, with support from JICA and WHO.
