March Associates was engaged by the US Presidential Malaria Initiative’s VectorLink and PSI to undertake the Durability Monitoring of Insecticide Treated Nets from 2021 to 2024. The primary objective of the study is to assess the longevity and effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) in combating malaria transmission. The project is being conducted in Nyimba and Serenje Districts which are known for their vulnerability to malaria and are part of the broader efforts supported by the US Presidential Malaria Initiative. The project comprises four waves of data collection – the baseline done in 2021; 12 months follow-up in 2022; 24 months follow-up in 2022/23- and 36-months follow-up in 2023/24. The project represents a critical effort to assess the long-term durability and performance of insecticide-treated nets in the fight against malaria, with the ultimate goal of improving the health and well-being of the local communities of Nyimba and Serenje Districts in Zambia.
