Lizulu Market

Driving through a market in Malawi, Africa

This is the road from Zomba to Lake Chirwa, which passes through several villages and busy places like this Govala market. The market is well known throughout the Southern Region in Malawi as a place where rice can be found at affordable prices.

Though rice has not been harvested yet, the market is still busy with people selling everything from clothes and shoes to pots, vegetables and fruit.

Malawi, Ntcheu, Mphepozinai/Muluma/Gowa: Bednet distribution

Approximately 250,000 nets were distributed in Ntcheu District, one of Malawi's 28 districts, to achieve coverage of all sleeping spaces.

This is a hugely significant campaign to combat malaria in Malawi and is part of a nationwide programme to cover all sleeping spaces in all districts.

Before the nationwide distribution, between 20-25% of sleeping spaces in Malawi are estimated to be covered with usable LLINs. This has meant it is cost-efficient to conduct a pre-distribution registration survey to establish the number of sleeping spaces and how many are covered with usable LLINs, household by household.

This information then forms the basis of a highly targeted, efficient net distribution with the added benefit of the potential for efficiently and cost-effectively maintaining net levels in the years to come.
