Nets will be distributed in all eleven Health Zones of Nord Ubangi (North Ubangi) district, one of the five districts of Equatéur Province, to achieve universal coverage (all sleeping spaces covered) across a population of some 1.3 million people. This will the first stage of a two stage net distribution approach that has the specific objective of maintaining sleeping space coverage at or above 80% for a period of four years.

Post-distribution
The two objectives of post-distribution activity are i) to monitor and report on
the continued use of the nets (achieved via six-monthly Post-Distribution net use
and condition Check-Ups (PDCUs) which collect data from 5% of the households, randomly
selected and visited unannounced, that received nets during the distribution) and
ii) to assess the impact in terms of reduced malaria to which the nets contribute
(achieved via monthly malaria case rate and mortality data, received quarterly).
