This report focuses on bed net indicators collected from annual cross-sectional surveys and anthropological activities. Within each evaluation, available indicators on bed net ownership, bed net characteristics, and bed net use are presented. Due to country-specific factors, the timing of data collection, management, and analysis varies. Data collection and analysis are ongoing, and definitive conclusions will not be drawn from these results at this time.

The New Nets Project (NNP) was established with the goal of making the latest dual active ingredient (AI) insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) more widely available to malaria programs throughout sub-Saharan Africa. In addition to managing the rapid deployment of new nets to partner countries and negotiating a volume guarantee to reduce prices, NNP partners oversee randomized control trials and pilot studies evaluating their efficacy and effectiveness. The evidence gathered from these studies will be used to ascertain the impact and cost-effectiveness of dual AI nets and support an appropriate ITN policy recommendation from the World Health Organization. The NNP is co-funded by Unitaid and The Global Fund, with complementary funding provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and US President’s Malaria Initiative. The project is led by IVCC.
