Transitioning to aligned ITN types through all distribution channels post multi-product campaign distribution
To address increasing insecticide resistance, many countries have begun distributing new insecticide-treated net (ITN) types during mass distribution campaigns. As decisions for campaigns are based on the quantity needed, insecticide resistance profile and available funding, national malaria programmes often need to manage multiple ITN types. In order to maximize the impact of the different ITN types, many countries are also transitioning ITNs distributed through continuous distribution (CD) channels to align with ITN types distributed during the mass campaign.
This document accompanies AMP guidance Planning and operational recommendations for multi-product ITN campaigns and Messages on hanging of new types of insecticide-treated nets which provide additional information around decisions to be taken and steps to be considered when planning for multi-product ITN distribution and for social and behaviour change for newly received ITNs.
