Gearing Up For The Long Lasting Insecticide Nets(Llins) Distribution Campaign

Machakos Saturday September 2, 2023 The Ministry in collaboration with Development Partners has concluded a two day training of National Trainers of Trainers (ToTs) for the Mass Long Lasting Insecticide Mosquito Nets (LLINs) Distribution Campaign 2023/24 scheduled kickoff in November 2023.

The Multi Agency National Trainers will train counties and sub counties on micro planning, house hold registration and nets distribution.

This year's campaign will deploy digitization to address operation risks and enhance efficiency.

In 2012, Kenya adopted the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation of achieving and maintaining universal coverage by conducting mass LLIN distribution campaigns once every three years.

The distribution of LLINs to communities has yielded tremendous progress in the fight against malaria with a significant drop in malaria prevalence from 8% to 6% nationally as per the Kenya Malaria Indicator Survey 2015 and 2020 respectively.

This training sets stage for a series of activities that will culminate to the distribution of approximately 18 million nets in 28 high risk counties.

In attendance were @GlobalFund Country team, @Kemsa_Kenya, MEDS, HEALTH IT, @MoH_Kenya, @DNMPKenya, Kenya Coordinating mechanism(KCM) among others.
