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

11 rural villages in Micosse will receive between 60-400 nets each. These villages are situated in Matala municipal where 43,000 cases of malaria were registered during 2005 (MOH health statistics, also cited by UE database). This means it is a very high risk area.

Distribution will be to the most vulnerable groups, pregnant women and children under five. The number of nets has been calculated based on the number of pregnant women and children in the province.

They will be distributed through intensive routine health services and through outreach activities. Community mobilizers will be trained to facilitate outreach activities and to trace beneficiary families. This multi-level approach will improve availability, access and utilization of the package of services offered by the health facility. Motorbikes will be made available at the health facility unit to cover villages localized at more than 3 km from the existing health centre.

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.
