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'.

Distribution

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.

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.
