Field testing and performance Field testing Malaria Consortium in Uganda performed field tests on DawaPlus 2.0 nets for a period of three years. In 2012, the Consortium published the final results. The Consortium confirmed the following: After 36 months of field use 83.3% (95% CI 65.3 94.4) of the DawaPlus 2.0 nets fulfilled the WHOPES criteria for the bioassay test, i.e. the criteria of 80% net survival rate for the WHOPES phase III evaluation were fulfilled. Malaria is a preventable and treatable disease. Yet every minute a child dies of malaria and more than a billion people remain at risk. TANA Netting is committed to improve the lives of people threatened by malaria and other vectorborne diseases by providing cost effective and high quality preventive products. DawaPlus 2.0 is a long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) recommended by the World Health Organization Pesticide Evaluation Scheme (WHOPES) as a tool for malaria control and prevention. Expertise and partnerships We have an extensive understanding of the needs of our end-users and recognise 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 the beneficiaries as quickly as possible, even in hard-to-reach destinations. We are actively involved in global programmes and partnerships for the improvement of vector control tools, policies, advocacy and programme 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. *Knockdown **Mortality 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100% After 10 washes After 15 washes After 20 washes After 25 washes After 30 washes WHOPES LLIN baseline criteria Biological efficacy DawaPlus 2.0 has been validated under laboratory conditions in accordance with WHOPES protocols to determine its efficacy after a series of washes.

Empowering and protecting We will manufacture and supply high quality, totally reliable and affordable reproductive health products for the institutional market. We will empower and protect vulnerable communities by supporting family planning and fighting HIV/AIDS. 36 NRS International catalogue 37
Our facilities We manufacture what we sell Our production philosophy Five key pillars The male latex condom is the single most efficient, available technology to reduce the sexual transmission of HIV and other STDs and prevents unintended pregnancy. WHO and UNFPA Tackling global health challenges Ulinzi Latex will support family planning, fight HIV/AIDS and prevent STDs, by producing high quality male latex condoms for the institutional market. Ulinzi Latex commits to manufacturing these life-saving products to the highest possible international standards. We will offer our products in different shapes, sizes, textures, colours, flavours, and packaging types to best suit the needs of our customers. Building our ambitious project on a greenfield site in Lahore, we are building our production capacity gradually. We aim to become one of the world s largest condom manufacturers by volume. Ulinzi Latex products will be manufactured in our own state-of-the-art production facility managed by HSNDS Latex in Lahore, Pakistan, a newly-established branch of H. Sheikh Noor-ud-Din & Sons (HSNDS). We are building on a heritage of manufacturing excellence, which we enrich with the latest advanced technology and world class processes to lift our production standards even higher. Our technology Pushing boundaries We use the most innovative, world-class technology. We collaborate with leading suppliers to push boundaries, enhancing technology so that we can pursue new ways of working, and meet our rigorous standards for quality, reliability, efficiency and environmental protection. By achieving the right balance of automation, we can deliver high quality, cost efficient products to more vulnerable people around the globe. 1 2 3 4 5 One-day manufacturing We will need just one day to transform liquid latex compound into condoms packed in shipping cartons waiting for quality release. This eliminates costly storage points and boosts efficiency. Cut and paste on a grand scale We are building up our production capacity module by module. As we perfect our technology and processes, we then apply these proven techniques into each of our new modules. Delivering on what we promise We will offer previously unseen levels of transparency. Customers will have full online access to all quality data pertaining to their actual order, and can track their products in real-time throughout the manufacturing process. Focusing on what matters We prioritise those areas that create real value for our customers. And we endeavour to eliminate non-valueadding activities wherever they occur, to ensure cost efficiency and the highest quality. Protecting our environment We tackle the root causes of environmental challenges head-on, so that we don t have to deal with symptoms, like excessive greenhouse gas emissions, later. We will minimise waste from the outset. 38 NRS International catalogue 39
Lahore, Pakistan Monthly production capacity* Manufacturing Introducing Sheikh H. Noor-ud-Din & Sons From family tents to mosquito nets, we have built our unsurpassed product expertise for over 40 years. The driving force behind this success is H. Sheikh Noor-ud-Din & Sons (HSNDS), our family-owned manufacturing facility in Lahore, Pakistan, that employs more than 7,400 skilled workers. HSNDS adheres to sustainable and ethical business standards by fully controlling the supply chain and entire product development process from manufacturing through to final delivery. The factory uses the latest technology to manufacture ranges of products that meet the highest technical standards of international and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Shelter and relief products HSNDS manufactures the full innovative range of NRS Relief s family tents and all core relief items such as tarpaulins, blankets, sleeping mats, winterisation kits, water containers and kitchen sets for the humanitarian sector. The factory also produces all our multi-purpose tents for medical, educational, logistic and management support use, as well as mobile storage units. Long-lasting insecticidal nets In 2016 TANA Netting produced a staggering 60.5 million long-lasting insecticidal nets in our netting production units. The production of DawaPlus nets benefits from the cutting, sewing and stitching techniques honed over the years by NRS Relief, the leading supplier of tents, blankets and tarpaulins to the humanitarian industry. 40 Solar solutions As part of our ongoing expansion, we have established a solar product manufacturing unit, which will produce all Enlight household and commercial solar products. When designing our new factory, we began with a clean sheet of paper, embracing fresh thinking and new perspectives. This saw the very latest advances in solar technology, smart manufacturing and world class processes embedded in our factory operations. Male latex condoms Ulinzi Latex aims to become one of the world s largest condom manufacturer by volume. To achieve this mission, we can t be constrained by existing facilities we need to start from the beginning and build up our production facilities (HSNDS Latex) in the way that will enable us to achieve our goals. We have invested in a large greenfield site with a total area of 300,000 square meters. In July 2016 we celebrated the groundbreaking ceremony of the first stage of our factory s construction, and production is expected to start in 2018. Production capacity might vary depending on demand and emergency response situations* 5 200,000 sqm = 28 soccer pitches support a community of factory sites 9 production units 7,400 employees 26,500 20,000 family tents 400,000 tarpaulins 100,000 water containers 100 mobile storage units 6 million LLINs 600,000 blankets 100,000 sleeping mats NRS International catalogue 41
Innovation in action Jerry Bucket The all-new, life-saving Jerry Bucket is the result of our collaboration with Oxfam s Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) team. The design of the 14L bucket has been upgraded so that it serves as a stackable safe water container rather than a multi-purpose bucket. Its new features include a new HDPE lid that is tightly fitted to the body of the bucket through an improved rim lock design, and a larger 100 mm lid opening with a clip-on cap to allow easier cleaning and filling from hand pumps. With the Jerry Bucket innovation, we can now help improve the lives of beneficiaries by combating the alarming incidence of drinking water contamination and associated adverse health effects. HuggyPRO The HuggyPRO tent is the next generation multi-purpose tent. Whilst it was originally developed to be used primarily as a school or accommodation tent, the reality saw it being used in much more demanding environments, such as a hospital tent during the Ebola crisis. So we embarked upon an ambitious research programme to improve comfort, strengthen weather resistance and increase operational flexibility. The HuggyPRO product highlights include: Strong, light-weight steel frame Highperformance laminated, disinfectable PE material Shade net Winter cover Lighting kit. Fire Retardancy We are proud to be the first supplier to offer affordable and fully fire retardant tents and tarpaulins to the humanitarian community, a truly lifesaving innovation which has won international recognition. This is just one example that has served as a catalyst for progress in the humanitarian supply industry, and will improve the lives of people affected by disasters. Canopy Hammock The DawaPlus Canopy Hammock is specifically designed to reduce malaria transmission in the remote forests of the Greater Mekong Subregion and was developed in partnership with the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp and communities in the Mekong Delta (Cambodia and Vietnam). The hammock is fitted with our WHOPES-recommended DawaPlus 2.0 LLIN fabric to protect loggers who sleep overnight in dense rainforests and are at high risk of malaria. The hammock can also be converted into a small tent for use in cleared fields. Solar Shelter Kit The first-ever Solar Shelter Kit was developed by our new subsidiary Enlight, in collaboration with PRACTICA Foundation and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Society s Shelter Research Unit. The Solar Shelter Kit promises to bring a better life to those living in humanitarian settlements set up in the aftermath of natural disasters or in response to humanitarian crises. The durable solar panel can be attached to any shelter structure and offers 55 hours of light and smartphone charging capabilities. NRS Relief was the winner of the AidEx 2014 Aid Innovation Challenge Business Entry for its ground-breaking Fire Retardancy solution in the history of the humanitarian sector.
