Post-distribution
AMF conducts regular post-distribution monitoring (PDM) after net distributions to verify that nets are reaching and protecting communities as intended. PDMs are typically conducted at 9, 18 and 27 months post distribution. At each monitoring point we visit a randomly selected sample of households that received nets during the campaign. PDMs are funded by AMF and conducted by independent organisations separate to those involved in the distribution. Through these monitoring visits, we gather substantial data on net presence, use and condition which allows us and our partners to understand how effectively they are being used to protect against malaria. The results of the PDM(s) conducted for this distribution can be accessed in the report below.
