1.0 Introduction

Population Services International (PSI), a global nonprofit social marketing
organization working in over 50 countries in the areas of malaria, family
planning, HIV, water, sanitation, and hygiene. Working across 23 countries in
sub-Saharan Africa as well as Cambodia, the U.S. President’s Malaria
Initiative (PMI) VectorLink Project is equipping countries to plan and
implement safe, cost-effective and sustainable IRS programs and other proven,
life-saving malaria vector control interventions with the overall goal of
reducing the burden of malaria. Specifically, the PMI VectorLink Project will
build the capacity of country governments to use epidemiological,
entomological, and coverage data to support the optimal deployment of vector
control tools within each country context while promoting gender equity in all
facets of planning and implementation. The project’s data and experience with
new and existing vector control tools will inform global malaria best
practices, guidelines and policies. The project will also implement and
support social behavior change communication and mobilization activities to
increase acceptance of vector control interventions.

2.0 VectorLink

Beginning in 2020, President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) VectorLink is
supporting standard durability monitoring of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs)
to be distributed during the January 2021 mass campaign in Zambia. The
durability monitoring activity will involve four rounds of household data
collection over three years (at roughly 6 months, 12 months, 24 months and 36
months following the campaign). At each round, a separate sample of 30 ITNs
per location will be taken from the field to undergo bioassays for insecticide
effectiveness per standard WHO guidelines for PBO-synergist ITNs. Samples from
the ITNs taken for bioassays will also be shipped to an overseas partner for
chemical analysis. Materials and examples of standard durability monitoring
from other settings are available from www.durabilitymonitoring.org.
Please note that PSI reserves the right to re-compete this activity at any
stage.
PMI VectorLink seeks a suitably qualified research agency to support
durability monitoring in Zambia. The selected agency will be expected to
fulfill the responsibilities and deliverables listed below. Note that this RFP
is for an agency to conduct
