  1. Feedback on Field Assessment of LLIN Continuous Distribution in Zambia 13th February, 2014

  2. Aspects of Implementation Assessed • Coordination • Logistics and supply chain • Reporting and data collection • Monitoring and supervision • Training/ re-orientation • Malaria messaging/ BCC

  3. Challenges

  4. ANC Distribution • Limited storage space at district and HF levels • Stock outs at district and HF levels • Poor documentation of nets distributed • Little or no monitoring/ supervision of distribution activities at HF level • Little training on use of storage and distribution tools • Disparities in malaria messaging

  5. Under 5 Distribution • Who to give net to is ambiguous • LLIN distribution not captured in register • Poor documentation of nets distributed

  6. Community-based Distribution • Distances from some communities to HF • Criteria for issuing coupon to community member

  7. School-based Distribution • Limited storage capacity at district and school levels • Selection of grades in primary school for net distribution • Knowledge of malaria messaging at school level (SHN Coordinators)

  8. Recommendations

  9. General • Committee for CD to be formed at national level • Similar committees to be formed at provincial levels • Provincial level team should be trained in the use of the NetCalc tool • Draft guideline to be finalized and adopted by ministries and partners for LLIN CD

  10. ANC & Under 5 Distribution

  11. ANC & Under 5 Distribution • Nets to be given to only children completing measles 1 vaccination (for <5 distribution) • Improvise available registers for recording net distribution <5 years • Re-orientation on use of tools at HF for net stocks and distribution • Improve supervision of net distribution at HF and develop specific checklist for net distribution

  12. ANC & Under 5 Distribution • Re-orientation on malaria messaging • Provide job aids on malaria messaging • More efficient supply chain system to be instituted to get nets to HFs • Thresholds and modalities for LLIN replenishment to be agreed and instituted

  13. Community-based Distribution

  14. Community-based Distribution • Identify storage hubs closer to communities for the redemption of coupons • Agree on context-specific criteria for issuing coupons in addition to general criteria

  15. School-based Distribution

  16. School-based Distribution • Nets to be moved to districts close to the agreed time of distribution of July • Grades 1 and 4 agreed as selected classes in primary school for school distribution • SHN and school head to be oriented on malaria messaging • Provide guide on malaria messaging at school level
