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.

14
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.

15
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

16
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

17
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.

18
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)

19
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

20
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

21
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
