About the role

This consultancy aims to develop and/or adapt a mathematical modelling tool within the Malaria Information System (MIS) to support evidence-based decision-making for Cambodia’s malaria elimination programme.
The modelling tool will specifically support strategies to eliminate the remaining Plasmodium vivax cases and prevent the re-establishment of malaria transmission, in line with Cambodia’s goal to achieve and sustain malaria elimination.
The tool will enable CNM to simulate malaria transmission dynamics, assess the impact of imported malaria cases, evaluate the effectiveness of Prevention of Re-establishment (POR) activities and other interventions, and inform strategic planning and operational decision-making.
The selected consultant will closely with the MIS team and relevant CNM technical staff to develop, adapt, and integrate the modelling tool within the MIS platform.
The consultant will also strengthen CNM capacity to independently operate, interpret, maintain, and update the model following deployment.
DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES: Develop a mathematical modelling tool 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.
