Continuous Distribution Toolkit

This online toolkit combines current guidance and tools that can support planners and managers of continuous Insecticide-Treated Nets (ITN) distribution programs. A practical guide to planning and management, it also ensures that all currently available resources that support the planning, management, and implementation processes are easily accessible.

This toolkit can support planners and managers of continuous ITN distribution programs. In most cases, they will be the same people who plan and manage ITN distribution strategies overall; this is important because continuous ITN distribution should not take place in a vacuum, but rather should be part of an overall strategy to increase and maintain universal access with ITNs for populations at risk of malaria. Other tools support planning and management of ITN campaign distributions; for example, the Alliance for Malaria Prevention, and the partners’ toolkit for mass campaign distribution can be found at http://allianceformalariaprevention.com/amp-tools/amp-toolkit/.

This guide contains information and resources in many different formats, which will ensure that the needs of each toolkit user can be met in the most efficient way.

The toolkit is comprised of the following sections:

  • Background provides information on the overview of the overall ITN strategy planning and to CD, international recommendations, and guidance; it also includes brief descriptions of the range of the available CD channels. Users first looking to ground their planning and thinking in the context of overall ITN policies and strategies will find this section particularly useful.
  • Choosing CD Channels is a step-by-step guide to selecting the most appropriate CD channels for a given setting—the selection of channels will be documented in the CD section of the national ITN strategy. Tools and templates are provided at relevant points.
  • CD Step-by-Step Implementation is a step-by-step guide to the process of planning and implementing a specific CD channel. Tools and templates to support planning and management are provided at relevant points.
  • Country Examples presents ITN strategies and implementation plans developed by country partners as well as country examples of how CD channels have been implemented.
  • Resources include all the documents, tools, and templates linked throughout this website, cataloged in one place for download.

HIV/AIDS Prevention and Gender Tool: “Tchova Tchova Historias de Vida” Community Dialogues

Tchova Tchova Histórias de Vida – TTHV™ is a unique methodology designed for the Mozambican context to promote gender equity, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment adherence, participatory development and collective action. TTHV™ was adapted from an earlier model developed by JHU in Africa (“African Transformation”) and the Middle East (“Arab Women Speak Out™”). TTHV™ applies a transformational approach to facilitate social and behavioral change through a process of community dialogue, in which women and men discuss and explore risk factors and critically examine how social and gender norms operate in their own lives, their families and communities. The TTHV™ tool kit included 10 videos and written profiles of Mozambican “positive deviant” men, women and couples telling their stories of how they overcame gender, cultural and social barriers to make positive changes in their lives with a specific focus on HIV treatment and prevention. An 11th session, “Building a cohesive community to solve problems” was created aimed at developing group action plans to advocate for new social/gender norms and HIV preventive behaviors among community members. The set of materials includes the following video profiles:

  • Social Roles: What Men Can Do
  • Tradition and Cultural Norms
  • Social Roles: What Women Can Do
  • How to Overcome Domestic Violence
  • Dialogue on Condom Use
  • Serodiscordant Couples

Also included are the following facilitation guides:

Safari ya Mafanikio (Journey of Success) Resource Kit

These tools guide group discussions and other interactive activities in communities, providing opportunities for interpersonal communication and community dialogue.The Safari ya Mafanikio CRK’s unique and highly participatory methodology applies the principles of effective learning, engaging participants through interactive storytelling, drama, games, metaphors, personal risk assessments, and other innovative activities that inspire solution-seeking behaviors and shift mental models around deeply held cultural values. Activities do not just inform the audience what they should or should not do, but also enable a motivating connection with why they should or should not do it, in a manner effective for literate and non-literate audiences.

The kit contains twelve modules covering a range of topics identified as priorities by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. Grounded in an introductory module in which participants create their vision for a healthy future, health modules include HIV prevention; HIV testing and counseling; voluntary medical male circumcision; HIV treatment, adherence, and support; tuberculosis; maternal, newborn, and child health; elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV; family planning; most vulnerable children; malaria prevention; and malaria treatment and prevention during pregnancy.

Rather than creating separate kits for each topic, the CRK addresses all of them together in one comprehensive and versatile resource. The attached file includes the Trainers Manual, the English and Swahili versions of the kit, and campaign messages.
