Revision as of 09:20, 11 April 2017

Period Key developments
1980s Mosquito nets start to be used to prevent malaria.[1]
1990s Insecticide treated nets (ITN) start to be used early in the decade.[2] By the mid-1990s, ITNs already become an important component of global and national malaria control policies.[3]
2000s Mosquito net distribution develops at a large scale. The number of ITNs delivered by manufacturers to malaria endemic countries in ub-Saharan Africa increases from 6 million to 145 million between 2004 and 2010.[4] Between 2000 and 2011, the share of households owning at least one treated net in SSA is estimated to have risen from 3% to 50%.[5]

Full timeline

Year/period Type of event Event Location
1980 Proven to be an extremely effective option for people living in insects borne diseases prone areas, the concept of insecticide-treated net is developed to prevent the malaria outbreak in tropical weather countries. [6]
1983 A group of experts recommend the use of protective bed nets for preventing malaria, and that the efficacy of bednets impregnated with pyrethroid insecticides should be investigated.[7]
1986 Drug treated mosquito nets are first tested in Bangla Desh in a number of areas in Sylhet and Chittagong divisions. The test becomes successful.[8] Bangla Desh
1997 Kenya introduces the KEMRI/CDC Bed-net project, (executed in the Bondo District), aimed at the trial of insecticide treated bed nets (ITBNs) in the prevention of malaria. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is started in Rarieda Division with a baseline work in 1996 followed by the issuing of insecticide treated bed-nets in 1997.[9]
1999 Coverage Bed net ownership covers 2.2% of the African at-risk population.[10]
1999 Coverage Bed net coverage reaches the 51% of the population in Solomon Islands.[11] Solomon Islands
2000 Coverage The 24% of the population in Laos is estimated to sleep under a bed net.[11]
2000 Coverage The percentage of households owning at least one ITN in Sub Saharan Africa is estimated at 3%.[4]
2001 New national strategy for malaria control is developed by the Ministry of Health of Kenya, targeting increased coverage of insecticide treated mosquito nets.[12]
2001-2006 The World Health Organisation approves mosquito net "Olyset", classified as Long Lasting Insecticidal Net (LLIN). Its chemical coating remains active for a minimum of five years. Olyset was first conceived in 1978. By 2006, the net is mass produced as part of a WHO international anti-malaria campaign, focussing particularly in Africa.[13]
2003 Distribution Insecticide treated nets start to be distributed free-of-charge in Cameroon.[14]
2005 THE AFRICAN Summit on Roll Back Malaria is held in Abuja. The summit sets a target for expanding ITN use in Africa—at least 60% coverage of high-risk groups by the year 2005.[15] Nigeria
2004-2006 Coverage A near ten-fold increase in the number of young children sleeping under insecticide-treated mosquito nets was observed in targeted districts in Kenya, resulting in 44% fewer deaths than among children not protected by nets, according to preliminary data from the Government.[12]
2005-2006 Distribution Over 2 million mosquito nets are distributed in Niger to combat malaria Distribution begins in 2005 in a campaign supported by an $11 million grant from the UN-backed Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, as well as by $2 million from the Canadian International Development Agency.[16] Niger
2006 Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki launches a two campaigns effort, funded by a US$ 17 million grant from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, to distribute 3.4 million long-lasting insecticidal nets free of charge to children in 45 of Kenya's 70 districts through.[12] Kenya
2007 Policy The World Health Organization starts recommending only use of long lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) and not conventional insecticide treated nets (ITNs).[4]
2007 Distribution Over 1.8 million nets are distributed to thousands of children in Mali.[17] Mali
2007-2008 Distribution Mass campaigns to distribute treated mosquito nets begin in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in which 97% of the people are calculated to live in areas where malaria is endemic. Distribution is carried out mainly in the rural provinces of Bas-Congo and Sud-Kivu, followed by Equateur and urban Kinshasa. Before the first net distribution campaign, net coverage was reported at 19% in children and 20% in women. By 2010, a new survey showed corresponding figures of 38% and 43%, respectively.[18]
2007-2010 Distribution 14.1 million treated bed nets are distributed in Nigeria, supported by the World Bank.[18] Nigeria
2008 Coverage Bed net ownership in Africa covers 32.8% of the at-risk population.[10]
2008 Distribution Over 8.7 million nets are distributed in Tanzania under a $63 million program funded by a group of donors, including the Global Fund, DFID, Swiss Development Cooperation, and the World Bank. [19] Tanzania
2008-2010 Coverage 254 million insecticide treated nets (ITNs), most of them long lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs), are distributed in sub-Saharan Africa.[20] Africa
2009 Mozambique develops a novel bed net distribution model to increase coverage, based on assumptions about sleeping patterns.[21]
2009 Distribution 1.3 million treated nets are distributed in India under World Bank-supported project.[18] India
2009-2012 Distribution 60 million ITNs are distributed outside Africa, with 10 countries accounting for 75% of the total (India 9.2 million, Indonesia 6.1 million, Myanmar 5.4 million, Bangladesh 4.7 million, Afghanistan 4.3 million, Cambodia 3.6 million, Papua New Guinea 3.2 million, Haiti 3.0 million and Philippines 3.0 million)"[4]
2010 Distribution The World Bank finances of $30 million for malaria in Zambia, enabling 800,000 nets to be delivered in the country.[18] Zambia
2010-2011 "The modality of the Universal Coverage Campaign, which lasted from July 2010 to October 2011, was quite similar. Distribution and logistics were handled by the manufacturer and NGOs." " In total, over 17 million nets were distributed. The total cost of the 2010 campaign was $96.4 million, financed primarily by the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and

Malaria. " "Tanzania reached over 80 percent ITN ownership by 2011."[19] || Tanzania

2010-2011 "Sierra Leone’s rapid progress on malaria prevention is a result of the country’s adoption of the goal of universal coverage with long-lasting treated mosquito nets, and a mass net distribution campaign by the National Malaria Control Programme in November-December 2010.As part of this campaign, approximately 3.2 million mosquito nets treated with insecticide were distributed to families across Sierra Leone, meeting the target of one net for every two people in the country, as set by the Roll Back Malaria Partnership.""As of June 2011, according to a Malaria Indicator Survey, 87 percent of all households in Sierra Leone now own at least one mosquito net that has been treated with insecticide. This is a huge increase from the previous year, when just 33 percent of households owned one. With the nets now being widely available, their use has also risen dramatically. In 2011, nearly three-quarters of households surveyed reported that children had slept under a mosquito net the night before the survey, up from less than half the previous year—an increase of 66 percent."[5]
2011 "In 2011, in Mozambique, half of the households had at least one insecticide-treated net, 35.0% of children under five years slept under an insecticide-treated net the night before, as well as 34.0% of the pregnant women" "percentage of households with any mosquito net (57.0%), percentage of households with any insecticide-treated net (51.4%), and percentage of insecticide-treated nets (50.2%)." [22]
2011 "In 2011, Cameroon and its health partners distributed over eight million free long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) in an effort to reduce the significant morbidity and mortality burden of malaria in the country."[23]
2012 "In 2012, during the course of ongoing clinical studies of malaria among pregnant women in Malawi, a universal bed net campaign was implemented by the Government."[24]
2012 "The percentage of households owning at least one ITN in SSA is estimated to have risen from 3% in 2000 to 56% in 2012"[4]
2012 "In 2012, a national bed net distribution was done in response to reports of high rates of malaria transmission after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The Global Fund (GF) sponsored a national distribution of LLINs throughout the country (except Port-au-Prince) with the goal of two Olyset LLINs per household."[25]
2012-2014 "In 2012, the National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) distributed 2,560,216 insecticide-treated nets (935,997 in antenatal visits and 1,624,419 in universal coverage campaigns, hereinafter referred to as “campaign” d ) throughout Mozambique. In 2013, 3,098,675 insecticide-treated nets were distributed (885,023 in antenatal visits and 2,213,652 in campaign). In 2014, 5,672,392 insecticide-treated nets were distributed (1,258,998 in antenatal visits and 4,413,404 in campaign)"[22]
2013 "44%of the population at risk in sub-saharan Africa were sleeping under an Itn, indicating

that 90% of people used the nets available to them. 278 millionof the 840 million people at risk of malaria in sub-saharan Africa lived in households without even a single Itn"[26] ||

2014 "in 2014, a record number of long-lasting insecticidal nets were

delivered to endemic countries in Africa. "[26]||

2014 Distribution An estimated 214 million long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are delivered in Africa, bringing the total number of LLINs delivered to that region since 2012 to 427 million.[27]
2015 Distribution UNICEF, one of the largest buyers of mosquito nets in the world, delivers 22.3 million long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) in 30 different countries.[28]
2016 "AMF has signed an agreement with Uganda’s Ministry of Health to fund 10.7 million long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) for distribution in Uganda’s upcoming universal coverage campaign (UCC)."[29]
