  12. ITN IMPLEMENTATION VISION 54% of the Households in the highly endemic districts would have at least one ITN by the year 2008 GOAL To reduce malaria and leishmaniasis burden in Pakistan using ITNs as a key intervention OVERALL OBJECTIVE Increase use of ITNs by all household members in the target areas.

  13. Cont.. OUTCOME 1. 54% of households in the 23 endemic districts with RBM components in place will have at least one ITN by the end of 2008 by adopting and implementing effective strategies. 2. 50% of nets used by the households are effectively re-treated with insecticides by the end of 2008.

  14. ITN EXPERIENCES IN PAKISTAN Research Trials • Two WHO/TDR supported ITN Operation research projects (1998-99) clearly suggest: • ITN reduce the morbidity significantly especially in children below 5 Years and acceptance is high. • Public-Private partnership is a viable option to promote the use of ITNs

  15. Cont/… Implementation • Public-Private Partnership - DOMC with its NGO partners has successfully implemented 29,000 ITNs in flood affected districts (2002) - DOMC with its partners will implement 180,000 ITNs over the next two years in 11 selected districts

  16. Cont/… • Non Government Organizations: Health Net International (1993-2003) an NGO has implemented approximately 20,000 ITNs in cyclone affected areas in addition to implementation of ITNs in Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan.

  17. Programme Partners • Technical Assistance WHO, HNI, ASD • Financial Assistance Federal & Provincial PC-Is, WHO & GFATM. In addition DFID and USAID have also shown interest. • Implementation Provincial Directorates and NGOs (HNI, Greenstar-SMP, NRSP)

  18. Challenges • Affordable and accessible ITNs • Non-availability of well defined operations and mechanisms for ITN availability, promotion, distribution, re-treatment and monitoring & evaluation • Clear decision on LLN use

  19. Cont/… • Limited financial assistance • Low purchasing power • Social acceptability (behavioral change) due to insufficient awareness • Lack of operational research • Involvement of Commercial Sector and more NGOs

  20. WHAT NEXT ? • Rreview, refine, make consensus, finalization and endorsement of National ITN Strategic Action Plan • Operationalization of ITN strategy • Initiation of ITN implementation through GFATM
