Summary:

Description
  • Description: This man returns home with his family’s allocation of long-lasting, insecticide-treated mosquito nets (LLINs), a highly effective tool in malaria control. He is the beneficiary of the “universal coverage” strategy in Senegal, which distributes nets to cover every sleeping space in the household, rather than only targeting pregnant women and young children. This strategy was first tested in Velingara District by the U.S. Peace Corps in collaboration with several partners, including Malaria No More, Tostan, World Vision, and USAID. USAID/Senegal, through the President’s Malaria Initiative, contributed 19,000 LLINs for this pilot activity in Velingara, and has since provided the majority of resources to roll out the strategy in six regions. In the first four regions, approximately 700,000 LLINs were distributed. The second phase aims to distribute another 1.3 million. March 16, 2010.
