DISCOD was the Community Mobilization Partner in Fufore LGA for the CRS/MSH 2023 mass LLIN distribution campaign, promoting the proper and consistent use of mosquito nets.
In 2023, Dawis Initiative for Sustainability Community Development (DISCOD) participated in the Mass Long-Lasting Insecticidal Net (LLIN) Distribution Campaign implemented under the Catholic Relief Services (CRS)/Management Sciences for Health (MSH) 2023 Net Distribution Campaign.
As part of the campaign, DISCOD served as a Community Mobilization Partner in Fufore Local Government Area (LGA), Adamawa State, where the organization conducted community sensitization and awareness campaigns to promote the proper and consistent use of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) for malaria prevention and control.
The sensitization activities targeted various community groups, including traditional and community leaders, women's groups, students, and market women across Fufore LGA. Through these engagements, DISCOD educated community members on the importance of sleeping under LLINs, the correct methods of using and maintaining the nets, and their role in preventing malaria, particularly among vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and children.
This intervention demonstrated DISCOD's commitment to promoting community health awareness, disease prevention, and improved access to essential health information through grassroots mobilization and community engagement.
