Through a Benin-Canada participatory research initiative which included both Benin and Canadian nongovernmental organizations, a local capacity to produce and market bednets for the prevention of malaria was developed.

The sustainability of the enterprise is enhanced by the community's recognition of the importance of malaria and the culturally acceptable practice of bednet use.
