Figure 7: Equity of LLIN distribution<br />

Number of LLIN received<br />

<strong>Anambra</strong> LLIN campaign evaluation<br />

According to the national guidelines for LLIN distribution through campaigns in Nigeria each<br />

household is to receive two LLIN irrespective of household size. Table 8 shows that this was<br />

achieved for those households receiving any nets with on average 2.15 (95%CI 2.08 to 2.23) LLIN<br />

per household. Interestingly, households in areas with estimated lower ITN coverage precampaign<br />

received slightly more nets (2.24 vs. 2.09, p=0.04). Of the families who received any<br />

nets 79.7% (95%CI 75.4 to 83.3%) received the planned two LLIN, but 8.3% (95%CI 5.8 to 11.9%)<br />

received only one and 12.0% (95%CI 9.1 to 15.7%) reported to have received three or more LLIN.<br />

The maximum reported was six and eight LLIN and in both cases these were confirmed by the<br />

observation of the nets and the number of household members was 10 and 12 respectively. The<br />

variation from the recommended two LLIN per household did correlate with the size of the<br />

family: the proportion of households receiving only one LLIN was highest among small families<br />

and for those receiving three or more LLIN it was highest among the largest families (Table 8)<br />

and this relationship was statistically significant with p
