◦ All age-groups - targeting to vulnerable groups only if necessary
◦ Socio-economic equity AND geographic equity ◦ draft indicators & how the mass effect works
Campaigns every 3 years – Yes but not alone!
◦ Current LLIN strategies assume that all LLINs exactly 3 years. Periodic campaigns alone give full and full-time coverage of the target population – but the data says this assumption is false!
Must have Keep-Up too - give equal priority to routine systems – ANC + EPI ?

AMPBCC Workshop Bamako September 2010
Multi-country studies show unexpectedly large variation in effective life between locations – even more variation between locations than between brands
Evidence that the relative lifespan of different brands is not constant but varies in different contexts
So a global “top five” ranking is not realistic
Draft standard durability monitoring methods (by CDC and MC experts) now being circulated. Should user preference also be included?
Need constant flow of location-specific data. It is anticipated that this monitoring will be recommended as "good practice"
in all large-scale procurements/deployments, for all implementation agencies, and all donors, especially GFATM.
How to feed this data back to inform product choice in GF procurement? ◦ WHO will set standards and criteria for its independence and quality – this is the
key condition for procurement◦ Need for technical support from VCWG to roll-out these monitoring methods
◦ Joe Lines WHO GMP
AMPBCC Workshop Bamako September 2010
Responding to a mixture of nets – range of conditions, include untreated nets
- operational research needed, procurement SOPs, Logistics SOPs, Village- and Household-level SOPs ◦ Indices of Universal Coverage◦ Procure 1 net for 1.8 people at population level in order to
achieve 1 for 2 at HH level.◦ M&E questions – how to enumerate uncovered sleeping
places? ◦ Nets per person ratio at programme, village and HH levelsJoe Lines WHO GMP
AMPBCC Workshop Bamako September 2010
Do we need to remove old nets? ◦ 2 reasons suggested ... Blocking new nets and
environmental pollution. But Evidence? ◦ Research project - assess need to dispose and
methods ( meanwhile DON”T burn ) ◦ Old nets are best re-used within the community –
e.g., under the bed, as eave-curtains, or to protect seedlings / cabbages
◦ Joe Lines WHO GMP
AMPBCC Workshop Bamako September 2010
331 million nets distributed 2004-2010
218 million useful nets (distributed 2008-2010)
19-20 million nets distributed/month
By end of 2010 enough nets to cover needs….
But what about use?
