3 3 Malaria is a preventable and treatable disease. Yet every two minutes a child dies of malaria and more than a billion people remain at risk. At TANA Netting we are committed to improve the lives of people threatened by malaria and other vector-borne diseases by providing cost-effective and high quality preventive products. Our core product is the DawaPlus 2.0 long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN), which has been assessed by the World Health Organization (WHO) Prequalification Team (PQ) and listed as accepted for procurement by UN and other international agencies and countries. Building on the success of these widely used LLINs, subsequent innovation has resulted in the new generation of DawaPlus nets the DawaPlus 3.0 and DawaPlus using proprietary dual-insecticide release technology to improve nets efficacy. TANA Netting is part of NRS International, a group of companies that develops and manufactures products for the humanitarian, development and public health sectors. We pride ourselves in manufacturing what we sell and adhere to sustainable and ethical business standards throughout our processes and supply chain. All our DawaPlus products are manufactured at our ISO9001:2015 accredited state-of-the-art facility H. Sheikh Noor-ud-Din & Sons, located in Lahore, Pakistan. Expertise and partnerships We have an extensive understanding of the needs of our end users and recognize the importance of quality products and solutions. We provide reliable logistical support to our clients from our Dubai head office to ensure the nets reach beneficiaries as quickly as possible, even in hard-toreach destinations. We are actively involved in global programs and partnerships for the improvement of vector control tools, policies, advocacy and program implementation. In addition, we are building partnerships with manufacturers in Africa to fulfil the DawaPlus legacy of producing nets locally in the world s malarious regions.

10 10 TANA catalogue DawaPlus 3.0 & 4.0 The new generation of DawaPlus products offer longlasting co-insecticide netting using proprietary dualinsecticide release technology to improve nets efficacy. Designed specifically for regions in which mosquitoes have developed metabolic resistance to pyrethroid insecticides, the PBO co-insecticide helps to suppress the resistance mechanism, allowing the insecticide to be recover its efficacy. Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) is incorporated into the netting, which acts alongside the deltamethrin. The PBO is a co-insecticide, considerably enhancing the effectiveness of the primary insecticide, deltamethrin, by suppressing the mosquito s enzyme defenses. We optimize each yarn to release either PBO or deltamethrin. This way we can ensure a proper ratio of the co-insecticide and the primary insecticide during the lifetime of the net. DawaPlus 3.0 DawaPlus 3.0 incorporates this advanced netting into the roof of the net, with the sides of deltamethrin coated polyester. DawaPlus 4.0 incorporates this advanced netting into the entire net, providing the maximum level of protection. PBO optimized yarn Deltamethrin optimized yarn

Sheikh Noor-ud- Din & Sons (HSNDS) in Pakistan. Core competencies The production of DawaPlus nets benefits from the cutting, sewing and stitching techniques honed over the years by our sister company NRS Relief, an industry leader in core relief items for the humanitarian sector. We apply the same knowledge and expertise to our DawaPlus nets that has made NRS Relief the leading supplier of tents, blankets and tarpaulins to the humanitarian industry. Responsible production The factory uses the latest production technologies to manufacture products that are 100% compliant with the highest standards of international health organizations and NGOs. All our products are manufactured in a sustainable and socially responsible manner. This helps to retain skilled workers, nurture our reputation within the community, and promotes sustainable practices in our day-today business. We also strive to continuously reduce waste and our environmental footprint. Strict policies ensure all waste and effluents are handled in accordance with international standards. Localizing production Our cut-to-pack facility in Nigeria demonstrates our commitment to localize production in malarious regions. Treated LLIN material is shipped in bulk to Nigeria from our Pakistan manufacturing base. This is then locally cut, sewn, packed, stored and distributed to beneficiaries in the country. This allows us to meet specific local needs more effectively while retaining control of the core process of chemical treatment with our engineers and laboratories.
