The project maintains close contact and interaction with the Colombian Ministry of Health concerning the progress of the research. The project collaborates with the Regional Health Services in Antioquia and Chocó to transfer knowledge and train personnel concerning issues of malaria, entomology and climate. 

The project also collaborates with other organizations at the two study sites. In El Bagre (Antioquia), Mineros de Antioquia, a gold mining company, provided logistical support to install the project's automatic weather station. In Nuqui (Chocó), the project works with Fundacion Natura (NGO), CodeChoco (Regional Environmental Agency of Choco), Nuqui Hospital Major of Nuqui and Fundacion para el Desarrollo Humano y Sostenible del Choco (NGO).
