Continuous Distribution of LLINs for Malaria Control Toolkit

This toolkit brings together resources from recent experiences and research of long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) systems of continuous distribution, including such mechanisms as school-based distribution, community volunteers, antenatal visits, and more. It is intended for programme planners and officials who work in continuous distribution of mosquito nets and includes: research tools, protocols, reports, materials developed for continuous distribution activities, training materials, implementation plans, and tools and questionnaires for monitoring and evaluating the continuous distribution programmes. The Roll Back Malaria Vector Control Working Group's Continuous Distribution work stream developed many of the materials. Below is a list of some of the resources found in the toolkit. Resources are divided among those for distribution in health facilities, schools, and the community:

• NetCALC Excel-based modelling tool designed to model several scenarios of continuous distribution approaches and help provide quantification of LLIN for each approach, as well as a training module on how to use this tool;
• Guides for Continuous Distribution;
• Case Studies on Continuous Distribution;
• Health-facility distribution resources and materials;
• School-based distribution resources and materials;
• Community-based distribution resources and materials;
• Guidelines for Implementation;
• Training Materials and Job Aids;
• Social and Behaviourl Change Communication (SBCC) Materials, including radio spots and messaging briefs from Tanzania, cartoon leaflets for students in Nigeria, radio spots for communities, posters, and more;
• Monitoring and Supervision Tools, including questionnaires, e-coupon evaluations, and interview guides.

The toolkit contains the links to documents and tools that are cited above. Partner organisations for "Continuous Distribution of LLINs" include The Vector Control Working Group, Systems Work stream of Roll Back Malaria, The NetWorks Project, Centre for Communication Programmes, Malaria Consortium, Catholic Relief Services, Media Monitoring Systems, Faculty at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the International Procurement Agency, and Population Services International (PSI), with support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
