A geo-enabled digital tool for microplanning and delivery of indoor residual spray in Zambia: A case study, 2016-2020.

ABSTRACT: Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is a vector control tool recommended by the WHO in areas of high malaria burden. Effective IRS implementation is complicated when up-to-date and accurate counts of structures eligible for IRS are unavailable; resultingly, programmatic spray coverage is typically calculated as the proportion of found structures that are sprayed. From 2016 - 2020 in Zambia, an open-source tool termed "Reveal," was used to support digital mapping, microplanning, campaign monitoring and evaluation of IRS. Satellite imagery was used to enumerate structures and identify "spray areas," clusters of structures for operational planning. Spray areas were visualized in the Reveal tool web-based planning module where campaign planners selected which would be sprayed and determined the res
