Anambra State Post-Campaign Net Tracking Survey

Anambra LLIN campaign evaluation
point, 49.1% (95%CI 40.8 to 57.5%) said “sleep under your net every night” and 28.8% (95%CI
22.3 to 36.3%) said “hang up your net”, 7.4% remembered “wash/dry and air before use”, 6.8%
said no message was given, and 8.0% could not remember any message . None of these variable
varied by background characteristic.
Net ownership coverage
Based on the time when nets in the households were obtained, 35 households were identified
that had any net before the date of the campaign. Of the 43 pre-existing nets, 22 were LLIN, 20
untreated and one was a conventionally treated ITN. The majority of the LLIN (15) were
obtained at a health facility, five from a previous campaign and three were bought from the
commercial sector. Of the untreated nets most (16) were from the market, the remaining seven
from a health facility. The pre-campaign net ownership coverage in Anambra is therefore
estimated to be 3.9% (95% CI 2.7 to 5.7%) and the ITN coverage 2.0% (1.2 to 3.5%). As shown in
Table 9 pre-campaign net ownership was higher in urban areas and in places that had been
estimated to have increased coverage although the difference was small.
Net ownership at the time of the survey, four months after the campaign is shown in Table 9. As
only 0.5% of all 1,781 nets in the sample were conventionally treated and 83.7% were LLIN, only
the “any net” and LLIN coverage are shown. More than three quarter of all sampled households,
76.1% (95%CI 68.7 to 82.2%) owned at least one net and 64.3% (95%CI 56.9 to 71.2%) at least
one LLIN. The proportion of households with two or more LLIN which is an important indicator
for the NMCP strategic plan was 57.3% (95%CI 49.5 to 64.7%). Net ownership was very equitable
after the campaign. Considering households that received any nets from the campaign, 84.9%
(95%CI 77.4 to 90.2%) of them had at least one LLIN at the time of the survey and 76.6% (95%CI
68.6 to 83.0%) owned at least two LLIN. No significant variation was detected in relation to
either the type of residence or wealth.
