General Data Sharing Plan (GDSR)
The General Data Sharing Plan (GDSR) project aims to conduct a geospatially targeted malaria
Genomic surveillance at the community level, link and optimize the systems which are currently in place, visualize, assess and operationalize geospatial and temporal genomics surveillance data with other malaria data streams through the REVEAL Geospatial visualization and planning platform.
Akros, Institute of Human Virology Nigeria (IHVN), and West Africa Centre for Cell Biology of Infectious Pathogens (WACCBIP) are collaborating to enable the existing community-level malaria genomic surveillance for detection and response to emerging antimalarial resistance in Ghana.
Through a geo-enabled surveillance system, malaria program managers and researchers in Ghana will be able to visualize mapped patterns of antimalarial resistance, which is currently impossible. GDSR will provide timely access to critical evidence to guide national malaria control programs (NMCP) decision-making for malaria program response and adaptation.
