That's a non solution. Giving them nets and fishing nets will only make then sell the fishing nets and using the mosquito nets for their fishing needs.
One solution is to look for another solution. Like a genetically modified mosquito that is inhospitable to malaria and outcompetes regular mosquito.
Other is to try stabilizing the region.

- DanBC 12y agoYou don't even need to do that. It's only one species of mosquito that is a problem.
- baddox 12y agoThe people who are currently giving starving people mosquito nets, and expressing surprise that they use them to get food, probably shouldn't try to stabilize the region economically, politically, or, heaven forbid, militarily.
- pvaldes 12y agoOther could be to create more faible mosquito nets that break easily under the forces used to fish, thus being useless as fishnets.
