268,420 nets were distributed in Ntcheu District, one of Malawi's 28 districts, to achieve coverage of all sleeping spaces. This is a hugely significant campaign to combat malaria in Malawi and is part of a nationwide programme to cover all sleeping spaces in all districts.
Before the nationwide distribution, between 20-25% of sleeping spaces in Malawi are estimated to be covered with usable LLINs. This has meant it is cost-efficient to conduct a pre-distribution registration survey to establish the number of sleeping spaces and how many are covered with usable LLINs, household by household.
This information then forms the basis of a highly targeted, efficient net distribution with the added benefit of the potential for efficiently and cost-effectively maintaining net levels in the years to come.
