The World Mosquito Program’s Wolbachia method safeguards communities from mosquito-borne diseases. Partnering with local stakeholders, we aim to prevent disease transmission without compromising human health or natural ecosystems.
Partnering with Communities
At WMP, Community Engagement means creating participatory partnerships with local communities, understanding their needs, designing campaigns based on their interests, and actively involving them in empowering project activities.
Our approach to Community Engagement is called the Public Acceptance Model (PAM) and this guides how we listen to key stakeholders and involve and empower communities.
It made a big difference as there is not much dengue here in the community anymore.
