Distributed by Red Cross The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is a network of 183 National Societies worldwide. Our headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland, from where we support members with technical, material, human, and financial support to better respond to emergencies and to major health problems. 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'. more...

Pre-distribution information

The nets will be distributed in the villages of Bahir dar and N.Gondar in the Amhara region. The population in this area suffer from bad malaria because of low immunity. 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), pregnant women and <5 children.

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.
