Journal Title: American Journal of Arts and Human Science (AJAHS) - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper addresses the need to come up with a monitoring and evaluation framework based on barangay visitations conducted by the Department of Health in conjunction with Oxford for Families (OXFAM) in the wake of super typhoon Haiyan that ravaged Tacloban City of Eastern Visayas, Philippines in 2013. The framework for monitoring and evaluation on LLIT installation together with barangay surveillance was drawn from collected narratives of the carpenters of LLITN, the community members, school pupils, administrators, and barangay leaders surrounding the different schools identified in the study. Installation of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLITN) alongside barangay surveillances were palliative interventions requiring constant monitoring and evaluation because dengue virus inflicts human beings and its carrier, mosquito, will continue to thrive in communities if not seriously dealt with. Qualitative data were gathered from direct interviews conducted through focus group discussions. Results indicated that LLITN installation in schools should be constantly monitored and evaluated because 1) school pupils can easily rip the fabric. 2) some areas in the classroom left open can render LLITN ineffective as mosquitoes can easily get in. 3) strength of the fabric can wane over time due to weather conditions 4) community and barangay surveillance on the presence of dengue-carrying mosquitoes indicate effectiveness of LLITN and overall dengue interventions. Finally, social mobilization on reducing dengue virus infection through social media campaign is relevant to engage community members to actively pursue a dengue-free environment.
