"As climate change warms the planet, habitats suitable for mosquitoes -- and henceforth the diseases they carry -- continue to expand. These diseases pose significant health and economic risks wherever they go. In Indonesia, the Tahija business family, local volunteers, the Gadja Madha University and medical school, and the Sultan of Yogyakarta came together in a multi-stakeholder partnership over ten years to combat the spread of dengue fever. Groundbreaking science alone often cannot break through difficult obstacles to have meaningful societal impact without the accompaniment of an ensemble cast of multi-disciplinary teams, diligent multi-stakeholder engagement, and more -- but difficult as that can be, it is absolutely possible. This book will examine the effectiveness of this style of partnership as implemented in Indonesia. The authors cover historical background on key stakeholders; their motives for choosing to join the fight against dengue fever; their lived experiences while involved in a multi-phase, ten-year project; and key lessons readers can take away to implement similar projects"-- Provided by publisher.
