Anambra State Post-Campaign Net Tracking Survey

Hanging of campaign nets
Anambra LLIN campaign evaluation
There were 1,781 nets found in the study households and at the time of the survey and 60.6%
(95%CI 55.0 to 65.9%) of these were actually hanging over beds or sleeping spaces. The rate of
hanging did not differ significantly between the campaign nets and those obtained before or
after the campaign (p=0.16). Table 12, therefore focuses only on the campaign nets. Among the
784 households that received any net from the campaign, close to two thirds (61.6%) reported
having hung their net within a week: 20.5% (95%CI 14.5 to 28.9%) stated “same or next day”,
41.0% (95%CI 35.6 to 46.6%) “within a week” with additional 15.5% (95%CI 11.6 to 20.4%)
“within a month” so that 77.0% said they hung the nets within one months and 23.0% (95%CI
17.0 to 30.5%) said they had not yet hung any of their campaign nets. No clear trend was
detected across type of residence or wealth quintile.
Table 12 also presents the hanging of nets at the time of the survey, i.e. among households that
did still possessed any campaign nets: close to half, 46.9% (95%CI 40.9 to 52.9%) of households
with any campaign nets had all of them hanging; 23.7% (95%CI 17.7 to 31.1%) had none of them
hanging and 29.4% (95%CI 22.9 to 36.8%) had some of them hanging. This suggests that few
nets originally hung had been taken down again at the time of the survey and that the reports of
the households were quite accurate. However, difficulties in hanging the net did not appear to
be the main reason for the rather low hanging rates as only 6.8% (95%CI 4.5 to 10.2%) of
households that had received campaign nets reported to have had any difficulties in hanging
them. This rate was significantly higher among households that had not hung any nets (16.7%)
compared to those with any hanging (3. 7%, p15%
