According to the August 2007 WHO Position Statement on insecticide-treated mosquito nets, national malaria control programmes and their partners involved in insecticide-treated net interventions should:
- purchase only long-lasting insecticidal nets;
- distribute free or highly subsidized LLINs, either directly or through voucher/coupon schemes;
- achieve full LLIN coverage, including in high-transmission areas, by distributing LLINs through existing public health services;
- develop and implement locally appropriate communication and advocacy strategies to promote effective use of LLINs; and
- implement strategies to sustain high levels of LLIN coverage in parallel with strategies for achieving rapid scale-up.
