One year after the official launch of SEA-ROADS, a regional research project funded by ANRS MIE to improve dengue surveillance and prediction systems across Southeast Asia. Partners from across Southeast Asia gathered in Phnom Penh on 4–5 March 2026 for the Mid-Term Regional Meeting, hosted at the Himawari Hotel.

The meeting was a great opportunity to review the progress achieved so far, exchange experiences, and strengthen collaboration among partners working together to better understand and respond to urban dengue challenges in the region.

We were honored to welcome distinguished guests and collaborators, including Dr. Gregor DEVINE from the World Mosquito Program, Dr. Phoutmany THAMMAVONG from Save the Children in Laos, and our special guest, Dr. Bruno SPIRE from ANRS. Their valuable insights contributed greatly to the discussions.

Together, the SEA-ROADS network continues to build a coordinated, data-driven regional approach to improve dengue surveillance, vector control, and community protection across Southeast Asia. 🤝🦟
