Tana Netting is committed to bringing its 3E impregnation technology closer to the areas where it is most needed as per the principles outlined in the 2001 United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Issue Paper on Transfer of Technology. Local production of long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets (LNs) is providing a vital public health product to local communities and it simultaneously boosts regional economic development. Using Tana Netting’s modular production process, local producers are given the means to enter the critical LN supply chain, with low start-up costs and minimal start-up time. With the Technology transfer, Tana Netting aims to:

• produce LNs where they are needed most, thus reducing the lead time for delivery and having an increasing ability to adapt the product to local needs;
• add value locally by creating employment opportunities for local populations;
• provide a sense of ownership and pride for locally produced products.
