The planning and implementation of the activities of surveillance and control is run in close collaboration with the UNICEF-UNDP-World Bank-WHO Special Programme for research and training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) and a number of international organizations, research institutions, development agencies, non-governmental organizations and private companies.

Several foundations, universities and research institutions promote or implement basic and applied research on the parasite, the vector and the disease, with the support of WHO. Among others, they develop new drugs, tools to diagnose, or verify treatment response, or work on new methods for vector control
