Distribution
The distribution of nets typically takes place over a week to several months. The
area District Health Service and staff typically take the lead in carrying out the
on-the-ground distribution with the support and partnership of other organisations,
often local or international NGOs, and with the national oversight of the National
Malaria Control Program (NMCP), part of the Ministry of Health (MoH), and other
funding and otherwise-contributing partners that form a distribution Task Force.
Documentation is sought that shows nets were distributed as intended to beneficiaries.
A distribution is typically divided into a series of locations.
