From Ghana-
The Anglican Diocesan Development and Relief Organisation (ADDRO), is training about 280 volunteers to take up the distribution of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLINS) in two districts in the Upper East Region.
The training which is meant to facilitate ADDRO's malaria free programme at Garu-Tempane and Bawku West districts is being funded by the US under the President's Malaria Initiative.
The trainees would constitute the first phase of the programme, which has targeted 1000 volunteers to be engaged.
The volunteers will help educate their communities on malaria control.
ADDRO is determined to encourage community members to use LLINS throughout the year by adopting effective and workable strategies to improve the use of the net.
The programme is expected to cover a total of 139,837 people, including 24,967 children under five.
