Will a material quantity of nets be stolen?
|
AMF considers this the greatest risk to achieving an effective
distribution. Avoiding theft and ensuring nets are distributed to beneficiaries
as intended, so nets protect an entire community as intended, is a fundamental element
of the assessment, planning and monitoring processes for an AMF-funded distribution.
Working with the distribution partners, AMF assesses the processes, receipt mechanisms
and independent monitoring that will be used on each distribution.

So far there has been no material loss of nets through theft. This is based on extensive
data-based reporting immediately post-distribution as well as regular post-distribution
net use and condition check-ups (PDCUs) which can reveal immediate and subsequent
material theft of nets. However, AMF is aware all countries in which nets are needed
are prone to theft and corruption. AMF will counter this by continuing to set high
standards of data-provision and monitoring and working with distribution partners
with a commitment to this work.

Will the nets in a beneficiary household remain 'present but not hung'?
|
AMF considers this the second most significant risk to achieving
an effective distribution. The most important actions to avoid nets being
'present but not hung' are i) malaria education - covering the way a net protects,
how to hang it effectively and the importance of community-wide use of nets - taking
place prior to the distribution and involving the majority of the beneficiary community;
ii) regular post-distribution net use and condition check-ups (PDCUs) both to provide
data as to the level of net use which can be used to assist local health leaders
when deciding on additional education or hang-up interventions as well as the data-gathering
process itself acting as a reminder to communities of the importance of net use;
iii) additional education or hang-up interventions being carried out where appropriate.

Malaria education activities as part of the pre-distribution and distribution process,
post-distribution net use and condition check-ups, and additional malaria intervention
activities will continue to be key aspects of AMF-funded distributions. This will
continue to be monitored.
