MALARIA PREVENTION IN COMPLEX EMERGENCIES

CONTENT

• The new tools
• Obstacles in product development
• Risk management
• The Market
• The need for partners

THE NEW TOOLS

• Blankets
• Tarpaulins
• Tents

The 3 new tools have been chosen based on the
principle of being first on ground.

Example Tarpaulin - plastic sheeting

• Shelter (housing, roofing, etc.)
• Hospital
• Latrine
• Shower

OBSTACLES TO DEVELOPING AN INSECTICIDE TREATED
TARPAULIN

• Technical (Product)
• Financial
• Risk Management
• The market

PRODUCT SPECIFIC Ex. of technical challenges.
Example 1 Q How do we deal with
wash-off? A Insecticide must be incorporatednot
sprayed!!! Example 2 Q Exposure to
sunlight? A1 Known from residual spraying that
it is not possible to protect the insecticide on
a surface fully exposed to sunlight A2 UV
filter also incorporated must be chosen
intelligently to match the UV susceptibility of
the insecticide, otherwise the insecticide is
broken down in the plastic

FINANCIAL CHALLENGES

• Need assessment
• Market analysis
• Lab trials
• Large scale trials
• Field testing
• 0-series
• Approvals
• Launch
• Advertising
• Filling up the pipeline
• conferences

MARKET CHALLENGES
THE MARKET for tools to prevent malaria in
complex emergencies Is there a commercially
sustainable market for products to prevent
malaria in complex emergency? obviously
not! Conclusion Niche market. UNHCR, UNICEF,
ICRC, IFRC, LWF, ADRA, IRC, World Vision, MSF,
Concern, Goal, Oxfam, Merlin, CRS, CARE, Save the
Children and others.

THE RISK?
10
That we go through these challenges
Example 1 Q How do we deal with
wash-off? A Insecticide must be incorporatednot
sprayed!!! Example 2 Q Exposure to
sunlight? A1 Known from residual spraying that
it is not possible to protect the insecticide on
a surface fully exposed to sunlight A2 UV
filter must be chosen intelligently to match the
UV susceptibility of the insecticide, otherwise
the insecicide is broken down in the plastic

And incur these costs

• Need assessment
• Market analysis
• Lab trials
• Field testing
• 0-series
• Approvals
• Launch
• Advertising
• Filling up the pipeline
• conferences

Not knowing if these organisations are
interested in this new concept.
UNHCR, UNICEF, ICRC, IFRC, LWF, ADRA, IRC, World
Vision, MSF, Concern, Goal, Oxfam, Merlin, CRS,
CARE, Save the Children and others.
It is therefore important to create partnership
as early as possible with NGOs and UN
organisations
