Inform Asia helps generate and apply strategic, scientifically sound data in health programming in the region. Malaria, HIV, tuberculosis, pandemic influenza and other emerging infectious diseases pose a significant public health threat throughout Asia, and in particular, the Greater Mekong Sub-region. Headquartered in Bangkok, Inform Asia, implemented by RTI International, is a five-year program that works with the research community and program implementers to conduct research focused on strengthening health systems and promoting the use of science in that research in Thailand and in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). The program currently focuses on malaria and HIV. The purpose of this project is to: (1) Provide technical assistance to the Thai Bureau of Vector Borne Disease Control (VBDC) in order to assure the timely, high quality completion of Thailand Therapeutic Efficacy Survey in provinces; (2) Conduct an assessment of monitoring, evaluation and surveillance needs to inform capacity building needs within the VBDC; (3) Conduct an evaluation of malaria elimination models implemented in Thailand; and (4) Provide technical assistance to Lao PDR malaria program in the areas of program monitoring, evaluation, and surveillance. Inform Asia works to continually put forward evidence that can lead to better health outcomes and supportive health policy.
