“…This finding confirms the results from many observations in SSA countries where lack of sufficient funds was a main reason for not buying ITN [20,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. This observation supports the arguments of those in favour for free ITN distribution systems in SSA [9]. However, social marketing and free distribution systems may well be complementary to each other in malaria endemic regions [10][11][12].…”

Abstract:Background: This study aims to describe the community perceptions regarding an insecticide-treated bed net (ITN) programme in Burkina Faso, where communities were randomised to either ITN social marketing combined with free ITN distribution through antenatal care services (intervention A) or ITN social marketing only (intervention B). Methods:For this descriptive qualitative study data were collected through a total of 20 focus group discussions (FGD), 10 FGD with women and men respectively. FGD were conducted in 8 purposefully selected villages of the study area and in Nouna town. Findings:The ITN free distribution was well known to and highly appreciated in the intervention area A. Awareness of the ITN social marketing distribution was however low in both intervention areas, except in the urban part (Nouna town) of intervention area B. Women were reported to be able to purchase ITNs independent of their husbands. Poverty and frequent unavailability of ITN for purchase were the main barriers for ITN ownership. ITN information was mainly received through personal communication with health workers and through radio messages. Conclusion:While the free ITN distribution was highly appreciated by the population, the social marketing approach alone appeared not be sufficient to reach the goal of high ITN coverage, mainly due to prevailing poverty and the insufficient availability of ITN for purchase.

In October 2007, Madagascar conducted a nationwide integrated campaign to deliver measles vaccination, mebendazole, and vitamin A to children six months to five years of age. In 59 of the 111 districts, long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) were delivered to children less than five years of age in combination with the other interventions. A community-based, cross-sectional survey assessed LLIN ownership and use six months post-campaign during the rainy season. LLIN ownership was analyzed by wealth quintile to assess equity. In the 59 districts, 76.8% of households possessed at least one LLIN from any source and 56.4% of households possessed a campaign net. Equity of campaign net ownership was evident. Post-campaign, the LLIN use target of ≥ 80% by children less than five years of age and a high level of LLIN use (69%) by pregnant women were attained. Targeted LLIN distribution further contributed to total population coverage (60%) through use of campaign nets by all age groups.

“…The use of IRS and LLINs are the mainstream contemporary malaria vector control interventions [32,33]. The efficacy of these two methods has been evaluated in different epidemiological settings [34] at experimental field trial [35,36] and community-wide levels [37,38]. In reducing abundance and infectivity of malaria vectors, these tools reduce overall transmission and protect all individuals within a community [35], albeit with variation in responsiveness amongst vector populations.…”

In the past decade, there has been rapid scale-up of insecticide-based malaria vector control in the context of integrated vector management (IVM). But, the continued efficacy of vector control interventions is threatened by the selection of insecticide resistance. Evidence of insecticide resistance operationally undermining malaria vector control programmes is invariably mounting and is resulting in policy changes. Monitoring and management of resistant disease vectors is essential to limit the selection and spread of insecticide resistance and to maintain the effectiveness of vector control. Thus, countries are encouraged to implement pre-emptive insecticide resistance management (IRM) strategies against malaria vectors according to the Global Plan for IRM. However, substantial challenges for implementation exist at country level. The IVM strategy provides a potential platform that could be exploited for enhanced national strategic IRM planning and operationalisation. Nevertheless, significant coordinated response among stakeholders and political commitment is needed for timely and effective policy implementation within the context of a national health system.
