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'.

Pre-distribution information

This is one part of a three district distribution, in total covering 254 villages, in a rural, high risk malaria region.

Nets will be distributed for free to:
- All households with children under 5 and women of reproductive age. Households with more than 3 children will receive two nets.
- Schoolteachers, commune leaders, Bhuddist monks and nuns who will help promote key malaria messages
- The poorest of the poor in villages not specifically targeted.

Nets will be delivered to target villages by Red Cross volunteers and local health centre staff using project vehicles and motorbikes and with the cooperation of village leaders.

LLINs are new to Cambodia so information, education and communication materials will form part of the distribution activity. Post distribution follow up will help ensure high levels of net usage.

Post-distribution information

The distribution was completed successfully as planned.

Twenty-three thousand Cambodian villagers in three administrative districts of Siem Reap province now sleep under nets. The Cambodian Red Cross distributed 10,000 long-lasting insecticide treated mosquito nets to the most malaria-vulnerable groups including pregnant women and children. Distributions were conducted from 07Feb07 to 23Aug07 in all 254 villages of the three districts: Pourk, Angkor Chum, and Varin.

Follow-up surveys

These take place 6, 18, 30 and 42 months post-distribution. A survey of 50 households provides sample information on what proportion of nets continue to be used, if they are used correctly and the state of the nets.
