Expanding the ownership and use of mosquito nets The use of digital tools to improve operational efficiency of ITN campaigns June 2021 Expanding the ownership and use of mosquito nets
Background National programmes and their implementing partners are increasingly looking to use digital solutions during mass ITN campaigns Digitization provides the opportunity to Rapidly aggregate data during household registration and distribution Take decisions and course corrections on the basis of this data Re-use data for subsequent activities Landscaping conducted in late 2020 / early 2021 of the various digital platforms being used in ITN campaigns Expanding the ownership and use of mosquito nets
Background Objective identify the platforms most commonly used, their strengths and weaknesses, and catalog the features they offer Inclusion criteria Used in multiple ITN campaigns or at national scale within a given country Focus on managing data across multiple campaign components Expanding the ownership and use of mosquito nets
Report outline 1. Components of mass ITN campaigns and the need for digital solutions Macroplanning Microplanning Supply Chain Training Communication Household registration ITN distribution Monitoring and evaluation Summary Current challenges Potential digital solutions Potential obstacles to digital solutions Expanding the ownership and use of mosquito nets
Report outline 2. Summaries of digital tools in use for ITN campaigns RedRose/CAT CommCare NetApp ODK Collect and KoboCollect EDMIS DHIS2 Primary use Primary benefit Brief summary of use cases Countries that have used the tool Countries where tool is planned for use Expanding the ownership and use of mosquito nets
Methods Document review (existing case studies, reports, published and grey literature, platform documentation) Online survey for national programmes and key implementing partners to gather information on previous experiences with digitization for ITN campaigns, and future plans Expanding the ownership and use of mosquito nets
Feature Wish List Planning and Training Update maps of households, estimate population and define catchment area boundaries Manage training attendance biometrically to confirm identities Update map features to define distribution points, registration targets per day, numbers of registration teams needed Population microplanning template to generate local-level budget and list of resources for teams and SBC Utilize mobile bank payments to process training payments to those completing trainings Incorporate friction layers/transport inputs to elaborate microtransport plans Expanding the ownership and use of mosquito nets
Feature Wish List Household Registration Supervisors use microplanning maps to assign daily work to teams Registration data used to identify incomplete areas; built- in data checks evaluate for ghost households and household member inflation Registration teams collect household information, upload to server Daily work submissions and geolocation (also clock in/out) used to confirm timesheets for worker payments Supervisors review daily work before teams leave an area to ensure completion Expanding the ownership and use of mosquito nets
Feature Wish List Supply Chain Bales scanned in and out at each stage of transport; origin and destination captured; flags if destination incorrect Net bales scanned into LMIS tracking system upon clearance from port Estimated delivery times to final DP Expanding the ownership and use of mosquito nets
Feature Wish List ITN Distribution Burn rate - stockouts at DPs are identified and likely gaps quantified in advance; excess stock can be deployed if available Redemption data used to identify areas/individuals who have not picked up their nets; SBC targeted accordingly Final registration and distribution figures aggregated for reporting to donors Distribution data aggregated and monitored to assess completeness Distribution data linked to registrations via unique code Requests for unregistered households are recorded and addressed accordingly Expanding the ownership and use of mosquito nets
