The need for multisectoral approaches (MSAs) in prevention and control of vector-borne diseases (VBDs) has been identified. VBD programs often involve collaborations between health and nonhealth sectors; however, a systematic framework describing the process, requirements, challenges, and benefits of MSAs has been missing. A recent guidance document from UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases provides a framework to implement MSAs for prevention and control of VBDs. This article gives an introduction to the guidance document and describes the conceptual framework and coordination process. The next steps will be to test the framework through implementation research in specific VBD cases studies. The guidance document will thus be refined based on iterative and comprehensive monitoring and evaluation systems to assess the performance and impact of MSAs. The advocacy for MSA and necessary capacity building will be integrated into the testing of the framework.

打破孤岛：预防和控制媒介传染病的多部门方法的概念框架

已经确定了预防和控制媒介传播疾病（VBD）的多部门方法（MSA）的需求。VBD计划通常涉及卫生部门与非卫生部门之间的合作；但是，缺少描述MSA的过程，要求，挑战和好处的系统框架。联合国儿童基金会/联合国开发计划署/世界银行/世卫组织热带病研究和培训特别计划的最新指导文件提供了实施预防和控制VBD的MSA的框架。本文对指导文件进行了介绍，并介绍了概念框架和协调过程。下一步将是通过针对特定VBD案例研究的实施研究来测试框架。因此，将基于迭代和全面的监视和评估系统来完善指导文档，以评估MSA的绩效和影响。MSA的倡导和必要的能力建设将纳入框架测试中。
