Operational guidance

The role of civil society organizations in insecticide-treated net distribution

ITN Distribution Channel: Mass campaign distribution
Publication Date: October 2023

These guidelines have been developed for national malaria programmes and their partners to demonstrate how they can engage CSOs in ITN distribution campaigns. They assume a broader and longer-term engagement of CSOs which includes the training of community leaders, schoolteachers and school educators in the implementation of school-based SBC activities and monitoring the work being carried out by these stakeholders. Some national malaria programmes may choose a different strategy, for example engaging CSOs to implement school-based SBC activities within their targeted areas rather than playing a capacity-building and oversight role for schoolteachers and educators.
