Distributed by Red Cross

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'.

Distributed by Red Cross

The nets will be distributed in Kavango in the north of the country. Malaria is widely distributed here.

Kavango is characterised by high average temperatures, high rainfalls, high humidity and perennial rivers which are conducive to mosquito breeding and parasite development. During the past five years, in the north part of the country as a whole, 510,000 outpatient and 33,000 inpatient visits (from a population of 500,000) and 1,300 deaths due to malaria were registered.

The distribution of the nets will be to registered Home Based Care (HBC) clients most of whom are HIV positive, as well as pregnant and lactating mothers and children under 5.

Documentation

Locations

A distribution sometimes takes place in a number of locations. Each location may have its own pictures and video.

Survey status

Surveys 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.
