I-Association for Community Malaria Monitoring, Immunisation and Nutrition (ACOMIN) yethule umkhankaso wokufundisa abantu baseNigeria,ikakhulukazi labo abahlala ezindaweni zasemakhaya, ekusebenziseni kahle amanethi omiyane alashwe umalaleveva kanye nokulahlwa kwamanethi omiyane asesebenzile.
Ekhuluma emcimbini wokwethulwa kocwaningo ngokuphathwa kwamanethi omiyane asesetshenziswe isikhathi eside (LLINs) e-Abuja izolo, i-Senior Operations Manager ye-ACOMIN, uFatima Kolo, uthe lolu cwaningo luhlose ukuhlonza izithiyo ezivimbela ukusetshenziswa kwamanethi omiyane yizakhamuzi zemiphakathi ethintekile, kanye nezindlela zokulahla amanethi ngendlela efanele.
Ucwaningo lwenziwe ngabakwa-ACOMIN e-Kano, Niger kanye nase-Delta izifunda ngokusekelwa yi-Vesterguard, i-Ipsos, i-National Malaria Elimination Programme kanye ne-National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR).
UKolo uthe inhloso yomhlangano wokusatshalaliswa kwawo bekuwukucobelela ababambisene nabo nababambe iqhaza ngalokho okutholakele, kubuyekezwe izincomo kanye nokuhlinzeka ngomhlahlandlela wokusebenza kwazo.
Uthe i-ACOMIN izophinde ibheke ukuthi lezi zincomo zingafakwa kanjani ezinhlelweni zesikhathi esizayo zokulawula umalaleveva ezweni lonke.
Wachaza ukuthi okuningi okutholwe ocwaningweni kubonisa izimo ezibonakala ngokucacile emiphakathini, ikakhulukazi leyo esebenzisa amanethi omiyane afakwe izibulala-zinambuzane eNigeria.
UKolo uthe abantu banemizwa ehlukene mayelana nokulahla amanetha asephelelwe yisikhathi. Ezikhathini eziningi, abantu bayanqikaza ukulahla amanetha okubulala izinambuzane aphelelwe yisikhathi futhi bakhetha ukuwasebenzisa kwezinye izinjongo, njengamakhethini, izikrini, noma ngisho nokudoba.
"Njengoba sesike saxoxisana, abanye abantu bangasebenzisa amanethi omiyane njengesithiyo ekutshaleni imifino, futhi uma amanetha omiyane esevele esiza ekuvimbeleni umalaleveva, kuvunyelwe nezinye ukusetshenziswa, inqobo nje uma zingalimazi imvelo noma abantu abakuwo. Ngakho-ke lokhu akumangazi, futhi yilokhu kanye esivame ukukubona emphakathini," kusho yena.
Umphathi wephrojekthi ye-ACOMIN uthe esikhathini esizayo, inhlangano ihlose ukwenza imisebenzi ejulile yokufundisa abantu ngokusetshenziswa kahle kwamanethi omiyane kanye nendlela yokuwalahla.
Nakuba amanetha afakwe izibulala-zinambuzane ephumelela ekuxosheni omiyane, abaningi basakuthola kuyisithiyo esikhulu ukungakhululeki kwamazinga okushisa aphakeme.
Umbiko wenhlolovo wathola ukuthi u-82% wabaphenduli ezifundazweni ezintathu basebenzisa amanetha afakelwe izibulala-zinambuzane unyaka wonke, kuyilapho u-17% ewasebenzisa kuphela ngesikhathi somiyane.
Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi u-62.1% wabaphendulile uthe isizathu esikhulu sokungawasebenzisi amanethi omiyane afakwe isibulala-zinambuzane ukuthi ashisa ngokweqile, u-21.2% uthe amanetha adala ukulunywa esikhumbeni, u-11% ubike ukuthi uvamise ukuhogela iphunga lamakhemikhali avela emanethini.
Umcwaningi oholayo uSolwazi Adeyanju Temitope Peters waseNyuvesi yase-Abuja, obehola ithimba elenze lolu cwaningo ezifundazweni ezintathu, uthe lolu cwaningo luhlose ukuphenya ngomthelela wemvelo wokulahlwa okungafanele kwamanethi omiyane afakwe izibulala-zinambuzane kanye nobungozi bezempilo bomphakathi obuvela ekuphathweni kwawo ngendlela engafanele.
“Kancane kancane saqaphela ukuthi amanetha omiyane afakwe izibulala-zinambuzane empeleni asize kakhulu ekwehliseni ukutheleleka kwezinambuzane zikamalaleveva e-Afrika naseNigeria.
"Manje ukukhathazeka kwethu ukulahlwa kanye nokugaywa kabusha. Kwenzekani kuyo lapho ukuphila kwayo kokusebenziseka kuphela, okuyiminyaka emithathu kuya kwemine ngemva kokusetshenziswa?"
"Ngakho-ke umqondo olapha uthi ungaphinda uyisebenzise, uphinde uyisebenzise, noma uyilahle," esho.
Uthe ezingxenyeni eziningi zaseNigeria, abantu sebesebenzisa amanetha omiyane asephelelwe yisikhathi njengamakhethini amnyama futhi ngezinye izikhathi bawasebenzisela ukugcina ukudla.
“Abanye abantu baze bayisebenzise njengeSivers, futhi ngenxa yokwakheka kwayo kwamakhemikhali, iphinde ibe nomthelela emizimbeni yethu,” kwengeza yena nabanye ozakwethu.
