The Net Champion Programme is feasible, well accepted and may help overcome behavioural barriers to optimal ITN use.
High access to insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) in malaria-endemic regions is primarily achieved through mass distribution campaigns. However, the use of ITNs remains inconsistent, highlighting a behavioural gap that limits the intervention’s impact. Addressing this gap requires strategies beyond traditional distribution efforts.
