Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of Canadian Red Cross insecticide-

The Canadian Red Cross, through the support of the Canadian International Development
Agency (CIDA) is working with its international partners to provide long-
In Mali, 100% of the population is at risk of malaria. Malaria is one of the principal
causes of morbidity and death in children under five years of age, and in pregnant
women. Malaria is responsible for 30% of outpatient clinical visits and 30% of hospital
deaths. In 2005, more than 800,000 cases of malaria were reported. Insecticide-
In Mali, HealthBridge is providing technical support for the evaluation of the integrated health campaign that was held December 13 to 19, 2007 and that included the targeted distribution of LLINs. Besides distributing free LLINs to children under five, the campaign provided measles vaccination, polio vaccination, vitamin A supplementation, and deworming medication to over 2.8 million children. This was the first time in Mali that these five interventions were provided through an integrated campaign. Many local and international partners were involved in this campaign, including the CRC and CIDA. Out of the total of 2.2 million LLINs procured for the campaign, 1.8 million were provided by CIDA through the CRC. In June 2007, the targeted distribution of LLINs was carried out in the regions of Gao and Timbuctou through the child nutrition campaign. In 2006, the National Malaria Control Programme in Mali adopted the strategy of free distribution of LLINs to pregnant women during prenatal care services.
HealthBridge's support includes protocol development for this nationally representative
household-
Objectives
The overall objective is to evaluate the impact and reach of the integrated LLIN
distribution campaigns and the distribution of LLINs through the prenatal care services.
Specifically, we will measure the ownership of bednets by households, the ownership
of LLINs by households with children that were eligible for the integrated campaigns,
the ownership of LLINs by women that attended the prenatal care services, the usage
of LLINs by children under five and pregnant women, and the equity of LLIN ownership
