Distributed by UNICEF

LLINs

What is a Long-Lasting Insecticidal Net (LLIN)?

An LLIN is a mosquito net impregnated with insecticide.

The insecticide is cleverly bound within the fibres that make up the netting and is 'slow released' over a 4-5 year period. Hence 'long lasting'.

The nets will be distributed to young children and pregnant women in two districts in the Upper West Region (UWR) - Sissala East and Sissala West. These are the most deprived districts in the region with the lowest current ITN coverage.

Sissala East will receive 5,200 LLINs.

Malaria is the largest single killer of children in Ghana, with 25% of childhood deaths attributed to malaria. Malaria is endemic throughout the country. The entire UWR is a malaria risk area. The region had an under-5 mortality rate of 208 deaths per 1,000 live births. Malaria transmission is year round although highest during the rainy season (May-October).

Distribution will be over a period of weeks during July and August at antenatal clinics (ANC) and child welfare clinics (CWCs).
