Mosquito net distribution in Tanzania

Mothers, caregivers and children wait to collect free long lasting insecticide treated bednets in Mwanza, Tanzania. The U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI), led by USAID and implemented together with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is supporting the Under Five Coverage Campaign (U5CC) in Tanzania, jointly funded by the Global Fund, World Bank, PMI and Malaria No More.

 

The U5CC will be followed by a Universal Coverage Campaign (UCC) in early 2010. The UCC will distribute an additional 14.6 million LLINs, with the aim of reaching the target of 2.5 LLINs per household.

 

In year three of the President’s Malaria Initiative over 32 million people in Africa were reached with malaria prevention or treatment interventions.
