Summary
Vector Space investigates the potential for high-resolution satellite indicators—such as temperature, rainfall, vegetation, and surface water—to serve as early indicators of malaria risk at the sub-district level. The initiative aims to enhance the allocation of resources to areas with the highest malaria risk, alert citizens in advance to take preventive measures, and reduce malaria cases by early identification of hotspots and risk zones. Key health focus areas include environmental health, health promotion, and primary health care. The target population encompasses a broad range of demographics, including adults (18+), children (5 to 11), women, the elderly (65+), men, pregnant women, and adolescents (12 to 18).
