The National Center for Parasitology, Entomology and Malaria Control (CNM) has been implementing a strengthened and comprehensive malaria program since 2004 through grants from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund). UNOPS, as the Principal Recipient for the Regional Artemisinin Initiative (RAI) grants, works closely with CNM to support Cambodia’s malaria elimination efforts, with CNM serving as the Principal Implementing Partner (PIP) in the country. Through collaboration with UNOPS and other partners, CNM has strengthened decentralized malaria control and elimination activities at provincial and operational district levels, contributing to a dramatic decline in malaria cases and deaths nationwide. Cambodia has reported zero malaria-related deaths since 2018 and is now focused on eliminating the remaining Plasmodium vivax cases and preventing re-establishment of transmission as part of its goal to achieve and sustain malaria elimination.
- Develop a mathematical modelling tool
- Work with CNM technical staff and the MIS team to identify requirements for the modelling tool.
- Review available malaria surveillance data, POR activities, and current interventions relevant to Plasmodium vivax elimination and prevention of re-establishment.
- Adapt and/or develop a mathematical model to:
- Simulate POR activities and elimination strategies;
- Simulate the introduction of imported malaria cases;
- Assess the impact of imported cases at different transmission levels and by parasite species, particularly Plasmodium vivax;
- Predict the expected prevalence of asymptomatic hypnozoite carriage under realistic scenarios for Cambodian settings
- Explore patterns of relapse of Pv under realistic treatment scenarios for Cambodian settings
- Assess the expected performance of current interventions and surveillance strategies;
- Explore and simulate additional or alternative strategies, where feasible.
- If feasible within the timeframe of the study, extend the model to consider Plasmodium knowlesi
- Training
- Guide head of MIS unit to understand a whole structure of the developed mathematical tool
- Guide head of MIS unit on how to use and update the developed tool
- Prepare a short user guide for using the modelling tool. Train CNM data manager and relevant team members to manage and update the tool.
- Expected outputs
- The consultant shall deliver:
- Scenario simulations assessing Plasmodium vivax elimination strategies, POR activities, and imported malaria risks;
- Training for the head of MIS;
- Final slide deck or report summarizing methods, findings, and recommendations;
- Full handover of model code and related materials.
- Khmer - Basic
- English - Fluent
- Phd in mathematical modelling or relevant topic
- Publication track record in malaria modelling for Cambodia and/or the Greater Mekong sub-Region
- Advanced computing expertise in R or other relevant languages, preferably applied to malaria modelling
- Experience of development and delivery of modelling training for malaria control program staff
- English: Fluent (Speaking & Writing); Khmer: Working (optional)
