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

The LLINs will be distributed in the villages of Mekele and Satit Humara. The malaria mortality rate in children is high in these regions. 60% of reported visits to the health services are due to malaria.

Distribution will prioritize Persons Living with HIV/AIDS(PLWHA) under our home based care program, pregnant women and <5 children. Identification of vulnerable pregnant mothers and under 5s will be done by trained volunteers.

The nets will be distributed by The Ethiopian Red Cross (ERC). Red Cross Volunteers will carry out the distribution as part of existing home based care (HBC) visits which means no additional distribution costs once the ERC receives the nets. Nets will be distributed by HBC facilitators trained to promote and demonstrate how to use the nets and twice monthly home visits will allow monitoring of net usage.

Post-distribution information

The distribution was completed successfully as planned.

A post-distribution report will be added here shortly.

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.
