I-Association for Community Malaria Monitoring, Immunization and Nutrition (ACOMIN) iqalise iphulo lokufundisa abantu baseNigeria,ingakumbi abo bahlala kwiindawo zasemaphandleni, malunga nokusetyenziswa ngokufanelekileyo kweenethi zeengcongconi ezinyangiweyo zokulwa nemalariya kunye nokulahla inethi zeengcongconi esele zisetyenzisiwe.
Ethetha ekuqalisweni kophando malunga nolawulo lweenethi zomngundo ezisetyenzisiweyo ezihlala ixesha elide (ii-LLIN) e-Abuja izolo, uMphathi oyiNtloko weMisebenzi ye-ACOMIN uFatima Kolo uthe olu phando lujolise ekuchongeni imiqobo ekusebenziseni iinethi zomngundo ngabahlali beendawo ezichaphazelekayo, kunye neendlela zokulahla ngokufanelekileyo iinethi.
Olu phononongo lwenziwe yi-ACOMIN kumazwe aseKano, eNiger naseDelta ngenkxaso evela kwiVesterguard, kwi-Ipsos, kwiNational Malaria Elimination Programme kunye neNational Institute for Medical Research (NIMR).
UKolo uthe injongo yentlanganiso yokusasaza ulwazi yayikukwabelana ngeziphumo namaqabane kunye nabachaphazelekayo, ukuphonononga iingcebiso, kunye nokubonelela ngesicwangciso sokuphunyezwa kwazo.
Uthe i-ACOMIN iza kuqwalasela nendlela ezi ngcebiso ezinokubandakanywa ngayo kwizicwangciso zokulawula i-malaria kwixesha elizayo kulo lonke ilizwe.
Ucacisile ukuba uninzi lweziphumo zophando zibonisa iimeko ezikhoyo ngokucacileyo kuluntu, ingakumbi abo basebenzisa inethi zomngxunya ezinyangwa yizinambuzane eNigeria.
UKolo uthe abantu baneemvakalelo ezahlukeneyo malunga nokulahla inethi zokubulala izinambuzane eziphelelwe lixesha. Ngokuqhelekileyo, abantu bayathandabuza ukulahla inethi zokubulala izinambuzane eziphelelwe lixesha kwaye bakhetha ukuzisebenzisela ezinye iinjongo, ezifana neeblinds, iiscreens, okanye nokuba kukuloba.
"Njengoko sele sixoxile, abanye abantu banokusebenzisa inethi zomngxunya njengomqobo ekukhuliseni imifuno, kwaye ukuba inethi zomngxunya sele zinceda ekuthinteleni imalariya, ngoko ke nezinye iindlela zokusebenzisa zivumelekile, ukuba aziyonakalisi indalo okanye abantu abakuyo. Ngoko ke oku akumangalisi, kwaye yile nto kanye esiyibona rhoqo kuluntu," utshilo.
Umphathi weprojekthi ye-ACOMIN uthe kwixesha elizayo, lo mbutho uceba ukwenza imisebenzi enzima yokufundisa abantu ngokusetyenziswa ngokufanelekileyo kweenethi zomngxunya kunye nendlela yokuzilahla.
Nangona inethi zokulala ezinyangiweyo zisebenza kakuhle ekugxotheni iingcongconi, uninzi lusafumanisa ukuba ukungonwabi ngenxa yobushushu obuphezulu ngumqobo omkhulu.
Ingxelo yophando ifumanise ukuba ama-82% abantu abaphendulileyo kumazwe amathathu basebenzisa inethi zokulala ezinyangwa yizinambuzane unyaka wonke, ngelixa ama-17% ayesebenzisa kuphela ngexesha leengcongconi.
Olu phando lufumanise ukuba ama-62.1% abantu abaphendulileyo bathi isizathu esiphambili sokungazisebenzisi iinethi zeengcongconi ezinyangwa yizinambuzane kukuba zishushu kakhulu, ama-21.2% athi iinethi zibangela ukurhawuzelelwa lusu, kwaye ama-11% axele ukuba ahlala evumba ivumba leekhemikhali ezivela kwiinethi.
Umphandi okhokelayo uNjingalwazi u-Adeyanju Temitope Peters waseYunivesithi yase-Abuja, owayekhokela iqela elaliqhuba olu phando kumazwe amathathu, uthe olu phononongo lujolise ekuphononongeni impembelelo yokulahla ngokungafanelekanga inethi zomngxunya eziphathwe ngezibulali-zinambuzane kunye neengozi zempilo yoluntu ezivela ekuphathweni kwazo ngendlela engafanelekanga.
"Kancinci kancinci saqonda ukuba iinethi zeengcongconi ezinyangwa ngezibulali-zinambuzane zincede kakhulu ekunciphiseni ukosuleleka zizinambuzane zemalariya eAfrika naseNigeria."
"Ngoku inkxalabo yethu kukulahlwa nokurisayikilishwa. Kwenzeka ntoni kuyo xa ixesha layo lokusetyenziswa liphela, emva kweminyaka emithathu ukuya kwemine emva kokusetyenziswa?"
“Ngoko ke ingcamango apha kukuba uyisebenzise kwakhona, uyisebenzise kwakhona, okanye uyilahle,” utshilo.
Uthe kwiindawo ezininzi zaseNigeria, abantu ngoku basebenzisa iinethi zeengcongconi eziphelelwe lixesha njengeekhethini ezicima umbane kwaye ngamanye amaxesha bade bazisebenzisele ukugcina ukutya.
“Abanye abantu bade bayisebenzise njengeSivers, kwaye ngenxa yokwakheka kwayo ngamakhemikhali, ikwachaphazela nemizimba yethu,” wongeze watsho yena kunye namanye amaqabane.
