LINK symposium
Final LINK symposium
LINK held a symposium on 27 September at The Royal Society for the end of the project: Data for targeted malaria control interventions - are we there yet?
The event was live-streamed and is available to watch on YouTube.
The event was well-attended with a variety of participants from several countries including NMCPs, colleagues from KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme, evaluation focal points, universities, other research institutions, NGOs and DFID.
The agenda summarises the event. There was a question and answer session and panel discussion at the end that discussed what lessons could be learned from LINK and the future for data for decision-making in health systems.
