A primary objective of the containment project is to
strengthen existing cross-sectoral and cross-border
efforts to ensure effective prevention and treatment of
malaria in migrant and mobile populations. Specific
strategies include examining in greater depth their patterns
of mobility, working with them to ensure better
access to health services, providing tailor-made prevention
tools and specific behaviour change and communication
strategies, and attempting to incorporate them
into routine surveillance systems. Reliable information
regarding migrant movements, health status, and careseeking
behaviour is crucial to the development of prevention
and control measures along the border areas
