New Nets Project – Mozambique
The New Nets Project, funded by a partnership between Unitaid and the Global Fund, is piloting the distribution of next-generation long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) with new insecticide combinations in sub-Saharan African countries hardest hit by malaria. Led by IVCC, the New Nets Project consortium includes various National Malaria Control Programs (NMCP), Population Services International, the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and PATH. In Mozambique, enhanced malaria surveillance activities will
accompany piloted distributions of next-generation LLIN products to generate epidemiological and entomological data needed to evaluate their public health impact, anthropological data on factors that influence their uptake and usage, and durability monitoring to evaluate LLIN longevity. Evidence generated during these pilots will provide important context to support National Malaria Control Program, malaria control policymakers, donors, and other stakeholders in their LLIN decision-making and planning processes.
