From the Landing Site; Many have always taken it as a bad joke, but not anymore. So I will say it again. The biggest obstacle against anti-malaria strategies is the people in communities that receive the mosquito net donations. They turn the mosquito nets into fishing nets.
And some sort of ‘export’ is taking place. As a one Benon Emuna told the media, “we adopted the style a week ago from residents fishing on River Moroto and it is working well.” New Vision of February 2011. The incentive is that the mosquito nets catch all types and sizes of fish.
In the NGO and civil service world, it would require the formation of a team, sending it on a familiarization tour. When this team comes back, it makes a report. The basis of the report leads to a capacity building workshop in a plushy conference room. Then a feasibility study of the target area, more workshops and seminars. After many more reports, launches and seminars would the program then be launched, or re-launched.
But Mr. Emuna and company adopted the style, and within a week, confidently says it is working well.
These residents of Yikwii village, Alebtong district should receive an award for this multi-innovation.
Another lucrative trade, if I borrow the word of the reporter, is of using the nets to make wedding dresses. I will leave fashion police agents to rate such a dress. Then after the wedding, they use the net to shield themselves against mosquitoes at night.
At the wedding, the couple would have treated the guests to star studded course meal of a fish delicacy. The surplus of the fish is sold off to contribute to the other items for the wedding, including the earlier wedding dress.
