This brown bag seminar is the first in an ongoing series to disseminate the findings of the second edition of Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries (DCP2) to Bank staff and external counterparts. The objectives of this seminar are to: - Expose the audience to the main findings and recommendations on Malaria Control in DCP2 and to share the evidence based research on this topic.
- Share findings of a recent USAID study on cost-effectiveness analysis of 5 national-scale Insecticide Treated Bednets (ITN) programs and 2 indoor residual spraying programs.
- Discuss the implications of these two studies for Bank projects and discuss the operational challenges ???

DCPP has produced three volumes providing technical resources that can assist developing countries in improving their health systems and ultimately, the health of their people. In the late 1990's the World Bank initiated work to inform priorities for control of specific diseases and to generate comparative cost-effectiveness estimates for interventions addressing the full range of conditions important in developing countries. In 1993, the World Bank published the first edition of Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries (DCP1) with contributions from the World Health Organization, developing- an developed-world scholars, practitioners, and public health specialists. In the past decade, conditions in many countries have changed; knowledge has been gained about effective interventions and strategies and about the role of households, communities, and health systems in improving health conditions. In 2002, DCPP asked some 600 public health and policy experts to update DCP1, expanding research and writing about the burden of disease and cost-effective interventions for a broader range of diseases and conditions affecting developing countries. DCPP authors include scientists, epidemiologists, health economists, academicians, and public health practitioners from over 100 countries. In April 2006, DCPP released the second edition of Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries (DCP2) that includes updated information about the global burden of diseases brought about by tobacco, alcohol, psychiatric disorders, and injury, which account for an increasing proportion of deaths. DCP2 highlights cost-effective interventions based on careful analysis of health systems, the costs of disease burden, treatment, and prevention for a comprehensive range of diseases and conditions.
