In order to monitor and evaluate the above-mentioned campaign, the Ministry of Public Health of Cameroon, through the National Malaria Control Program, commissioned the Post-Campaign Survey on the Distribution of Long-Lasting Insecticide-Treated Nets (EPC-MILDA 2016/2017). This survey was carried out by the National Institute of Statistics and is part of the government’s monitoring of the ministerial roadmaps prescribed by the Head of State and with the main objective of assessing the rate of use of LLINs after the campaign in the general population, among children under five years of age and among pregnant women. This survey received financial support from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
The results show that households in the cities of Yaoundé and Douala appear to be more exposed to the risks of being in contact with mosquitoes. Indeed, in these two cities, 41.4% of households live in the vicinity of an undeveloped watercourse.
In addition, the possession of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), although not yet widespread, is relatively high, with just over three out of four households having an ITN.
