  • Rotarians Against Malaria
    ROTARIANS AGAINST MALARIA LONG LASTING INSECTICIDAL NET DISTRIBUTION REPORT Enga Province Carried Out In Conjunction With The Provincial And District Government Health Services And The Church Health Services Of Enga With Support From NDoH, Global Fund and Against Malaria Foundation 22 April to 4 June 2017 Summary A survey and distribution of Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) to household level was carried out in the Enga Province 8 February to 5 May 2017. This is the third time that Enga has received nets and the third time under RAM with Global Fund funding. In Round Three of the Global Fund, distributions were carried out in 2010. This initial distribution was coordinated by the Provincial Health Authority but in 2014 and now in 2017 these distributions of LLINs in Enga were carried out under the coordination of RAM with joint implementation together with the Enga Provincial Health Authority. In the first two distributions, all districts of Enga were given nets, but in 2017, due to funding shortages, only areas below 2000m were covered in nets which means that the whole of Kandep, and parts of Lagaip, Wabag and Kopiam were not covered. It should also be noted that the nets for the 2017 distribution were funded through a donation of nets from the National Department of Health with the costs of distribution covered by Global Fund. This is also the third province to have a new survey verification process used after being previously tested in East New Britain and Milne Bay. This verification system was initiated by the Against Malaria Foundation who is now funding most of the LLINs for PNG.

As a customary process of political ecology adaptation to the subsequent food insecurity caused by crop- destroying frosts, people migrate to lower altitude areas where kin and friends provide sustenance and social support. However, with increasing economic development and the demise of collective kin endeavours in the region, long-distance migration networks no longer appear to offer people respite from food insecurity.
