ABSTRACT
Long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets (LLIMNs) are needed for malaria vector control. However, their distribution is not yet optimal in sub-Saharan regions. According to projections, COVID-19 pandemic will further delay the distribution of LLIMNs. In Niger, a distribution campaign of LLIMNs with a multi-sectoral approach (state-partner-civil society) was organized in compliance with barrier measures for preventing transmission of COVID-19. A door-to-door strategy was chosen to implement this campaign, in order to avoid entry into confined spaces and to engage community. A total of 13,994,681 people received LLIMNs (reflecting a success rate of 101%) in six targeted regions. A collective effort is needed to sustain the fight against malaria in the COVID-19 era.
