Vector control

Vector control is a key element of environmental sanitation.  RC RC volunteers and staff can help mobilize communities to properly use bed nets, improve drainage and reduce solid waste as well as a wide range of other activities to reduce vector populations and disease transmission. While it has important impact on public health, it is a very complicated activity requiring professional expertise.
