All eight (8) county registrars and the team that will do the work will be engaged. Once they have completed the training, they will start the distribution immediately within the month of August,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Ding Mario, a government representative, emphasized the importance of responsible net usage. \u201cWe need to take good care of the mosquito nets that are given to us. We don\u2019t want to misuse these mosquito nets because they are very important in improving the lives of our children.\u201d She issued a stern warning against the misuse of mosquito nets, especially the problem of free mosquito nets ending up in the markets rather than in homes.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Kediende Chong, Director General for Policy Planning, Budget Research, Monitoring and Evaluation at the National Ministry of Health, stressed the campaign\u2019s focus on the vulnerable members of the community. \u201cIt is a mass campaign targeting the general population, but with a special focus on children below five years of age, the lactating and pregnant mothers, the elderly people and all the vulnerable,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Lauding the attendance of senior national and state-level government officials, which signified commitment, and support, Dr. Kediende shared what is critical in the project, stating, \u201cWhat is key here is that the distribution will be door-to-door distribution, but more importantly, it\u2019s going to be digitally done. So the volunteers that will be doing the distribution will be selected from the local community. It is based on specific criteria because they are going to use digital tools and they will be trained on how to use the digital tools and report the distribution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David Oyem Oho, Health Link South Sudan representative, detailed the distribution strategy. \u201cThis mosquito net is the property of the government of the Republic of South Sudan and is supposed to be given free of charge&#8230; We will have specific groups of people we will work with&#8230; a team at the payam level that will be supervisors at the payam level headed by the county department and Boma where we shall have a team that will be selected from the villages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Malual Wentok, a participant, underscored the key messages conveyed during the meeting. \u201cFirst of all we are told that every house will get mosquito nets&#8230; [They] should not be sold in the market, so if anyone is found selling them the law should take its course on such a person selling this mosquito net.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
