The Challenge/Context

In order to meet the exacting requirements of their Donor to reduce the risk associated with the procurement and supply of Mosquito Nets, Malaria Consortium were required to deploy pre- delivery consignment inspection on all consignments of Mosquito Nets sourced from two supplier manufacturing locations in Vietnam. In addition, Malaria Consortium were also required to verify that all batches of Mosquito Nets were tested at an independent accredited laboratory to ensure that they were fully compliant with established specifications.

The Opportunity/Solution

Using its network of global inspectors, Connexi Audit & Inspection provided Malaria Consortium with a total of six on-site pre-delivery consignment inspections at the two separate Vietnam manufacturing sites between March and June 2025. During these inspections, representative samples of Mosquito Nets were drawn and inspected to ensure that the product in each consignment complied with required specifications including size and dimensions, appearance, packing, labelling, defects identification, quality, quantity, packing list verification, active ingredient(s), and materials.

Immediately following each inspection, initial Inspection Notes indicating at a high level the results of inspection was shared with both the vendor and with Malaria Consortium. This was then followed shortly after by full inspection reports detailing the findings from each inspection.

In order to meet the required supplied quantity of Mosquito Nets, the supplier produced two separate batches of Mosquito Nets and Connexi facilitated the collection of representative samples from each batch and dispatch of these samples to an Independent Accredited Laboratory in Singapore. Connexi managed the interface with the laboratory ensuring that

primary test results were shared with Malaria Consortium within the targeted 15 working days allowing full verification of both the chemical and physical characteristics of the Mosquito Nets prior to the shipment of each batch.

Results

Connexi Audit & Inspection successfully completed all inspections and laboratory testing on time, assuring Malaria Consortium that all product was fully compliant with required specifications prior to shipment. In addition to fully complying with Donor requirements, this activity dramatically increased confidence that all Mosquito Nets supplied were fully compliant and fit for purpose at the lowest possible cost.
