8. Since renewed efforts to implement indoor
residual spraying for malaria control have
only recently taken hold, data on coverage of
this intervention are limited and therefore
not included in this report. Standardized
indicators and household survey collection
methods are being developed for possible
inclusion in future surveys.

10. Other insecticide-treated net procurers
include Population Services International,
the World Health Organization, the International
Red Cross organizations (for example,
the Canadian Red Cross and American
Red Cross), the United Nations Development
Programme and malaria-endemic countries
through their national procurement
mechanisms.

14. Regional estimate for sub- Saharan Africa
is based on 30 countries with data during
2003–2006, covering 77 per cent of the
region’s population.
15. Regional estimate for sub- Saharan Africa
is based on 28 countries with data during
2003–2006, covering 73 per cent of the
region’s population.
16. Regional estimate for sub- Saharan Africa
is based on 29 countries with data during
2003–2006, covering 76 per cent of the
region’s under-five population.
17. Teklehaimanot 2007; PSI 2006.
18. Regional estimate for sub- Saharan Africa
is based on 28 countries with data during
2003–2006, covering 73 per cent of the
region’s under-five population.
19. This analysis does not include Nigeria and
Ethiopia because baseline data are not available
for 2000. Both are populous countries
with low insecticide-treated net coverage.
Excluding them from the trend analysis,
which is based on the subset of 20 countries
across sub- Saharan Africa (excluding Nigeria)
with trend data (covering nearly half the
region’s population), leads to a slightly higher
coverage figure for 2005 than the regional
estimate presented in statistical table 1, which
is based on the latest available data for all
countries during 2003–2006.
20. The regional analysis of disparities in
insecticide-treated net coverage is based on a
subset of sub- Saharan African countries with
data disaggregated by gender (24 countries,
covering 66 per cent of the region’s underfive
population), residence (27 countries, covering
75 per cent) and wealth (23 countries,
covering 47 per cent).
21. Regional estimate for sub- Saharan Africa
is based on 29 countries with data during
2003–2006, covering 78 per cent of the
region’s under-five population.
22. Regional estimate for sub- Saharan Africa
is based on 28 countries with data during
2003–2006, covering 76 per cent of the
region’s under-five population.
23. The regional analysis of malaria treatment
disparities is based on a subset of
sub- Saharan African countries with data
disaggregated by gender (18 countries, covering
53 per cent of the region’s under-five
population) residence (28 countries, covering
77 per cent) and wealth (23 countries, covering
47 per cent).
24. The regional analysis of malaria treatment
by drug type is based on 33 sub- Saharan
African countries with data available during
2000–2006, covering 64 per cent of the
region’s under-five population.
