AGAMAL Organizes Pre-Season Stakeholders’ Review Meeting Ahead of IRS Campaign in Builsa Traditional Area

AngloGold Ashanti (Ghana) Malaria Control (AGAMAL) has announced that its annual Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) exercise in the Builsa traditional area will run from April 27 to July 10, 2026, under the theme “Small Action, Big Impact for Malaria Elimination.”

The announcement was made during a pre-season stakeholders’ engagement held at the Azenero Social Centre on Friday, April 24, 2026.

AGAMAL plans to cover 89 communities in Builsa North and 58 communities in Builsa South, targeting a total of 6,893 structures across the traditional area.

The Area Operations Manager, Mr. Gabriel Naab, explained that the insecticides to be used are odourless, stainless, and have an efficacy period of up to nine months. He noted that the chemicals are pre-qualified by the World Health Organization and are effective in reducing malaria vectors, thereby lowering malaria incidence.

Mr. Naab urged stakeholders to act as ambassadors of the programme by promoting it at every opportunity, encouraging community ownership, and viewing it as a social intervention rather than a profit-making venture. He also stressed the need to dissociate the programme from political affiliations and called for support during field challenges, adding that “IRS truly works and we are the only people who can tell the story.”

The Municipal Malaria Focal Person, Mr. Hagan Bomasaang, stated that since the inception of AGAMAL operations in the municipality, malaria incidence has significantly reduced. He called on stakeholders and community members to fully embrace the IRS programme, emphasizing that the fight against malaria is a collective responsibility.

The meeting brought together stakeholders from the Ghana Health Service, traditional authorities, security agencies, and other partners.
