Anambra State Post-Campaign Net Tracking Survey

Anambra LLIN campaign evaluation
Anambra State lies within the rain forest eco-geographical zone. Accordingly, overall rainfall is
high varying between 1,690 mm per annum in the North and 2,148 mm in the Southern parts of
the State. The rainy season is somewhat bimodal with a first peak April to July and a second
peak in September/October but no real “dry” season in-between (Figure 2).

LLIN campaign
measured at longitude of 7.25 degree East from North to South. The box indicates the
time period of the survey.
The LLIN distribution campaign in Anambra State was supported by DFID though the SuNMaP
project as well as the WB Malaria Booster Project and implemented by a Task Force that
included the State Malaria Control program, the State Support Team (SST) for LLIN distributions,
representatives of State Government and donors as well as multi- and bilateral agencies. The
Task Force had three sub-committees, namely technical, logistics and demand creation.
After a period of staff training and mobilization teams went out to the communities to register
each household and provide a net card that could be redeemed for two LLIN at the distribution
point in the following days. The objective was to distribute two LLIN for every household.
Sampling
This was a cross-sectional household interview survey with a stratified two stage cluster
sampling design. The strata were areas with expected high and low pre-campaign net coverage
respectively shown in Figure 3 below. Each stratum was considered as survey domain for which
30 clusters were used. No urban/rural stratification was done but clusters were defined as urban
or rural based on their categorization in the 2006 census.
