Mosquito Action R$ Funding Control Source Authority Notable Problems With This Model • Funding sources are fickle • Outcome target is the mosquito, not epidemiological • Prone to corner cutting Traditional Models Have Been Ineffective Govt . Mosquito Action R$ Funding Control Source Authority Corner Cutting Reduces IVM Structures • Surveillance Entomological • Use of Decision Making Tools Expertise • Calibration/Training/Record Keeping • Inter-Agency Collaboration 4

An important need is consistent supply of expertise and advocacy  Surveillance and Identification  Decision Making Tools  Effecting Control Options (Techniques, Equipment Calibration, etc.)  Record Keeping  Strategic Management (Epidemiological Outcomes, Resistance Management, Incorporation of New Technologies, etc.)  Building and using management-side advocacy groups 5

3/21/2016 The National Entomological Societies Are an Untapped Resource  Access to extensive entomological expertise  Self-Sustaining for decades  Existing outreach programs  Desire to be more involved in both the management component and the government funding component One model would be: Govt . Mosquito Action R$ Funding Control Source Authority Entomological Expertise Advocacy and Training Programs National Entomological Society 6

3/21/2016 Goal is to have  Consortium of Entomological Societies with coordinated outreach and advocacy programs targeted at improving IVM programs in their country.  Initial funding would come from sources external to the society but would, over time, transition to a self-funded mode like other society functions.  Consortium members would meet on a regular basis and would, collectively, seek additional collaboration opportunities in IVM. Maybe there is a Silver Bullet But if not:  This is a long slog  A way of sustaining programs must be found  Societies have the expertise, organization, and sustainability to be useful here  It is practical and beneficial for all to have them work more effectively as partner in this effort. 7
