The Mentor Initiative

The principal activity of the company continued to be that of a leading international agency devoted to reducing death and suffering from malaria and other vector-borne and neglected tropical diseases in humanitarian crises. It has been designed to strengthen the capacity of emergency-focused agencies and national partners to implement more effective and co-ordinated action to reduce malaria-related morbidity and deaths. It is an independent non-profit-making organisation. Its core expertise includes epidemiology, emergency field assessment and planning, disease surveillance, vector control and personal protection, laboratory diagnosis and investigation, case management, community mobilisation and applied operational research and evaluation. The company receives funding from governmental and non-governmental organisations and is subject to specified targets.
