Rolling Malaria Indicator Survey (rMIS) – Sub-national intervention coverage and malaria impact estimates in young children and older age groups using a continuous Malaria Indicator Survey

Objectives

1. To develop a possible tool, a low-key continuous ‘rolling’ Malaria Indicator Survey (RMIS), to monitor the impact of district level NMCP malaria control scale-up efforts in order to accurately identify hotspots and short-term changes of programmatic settings at the (sub) district level.

2. To assess indoor residual spraying (IRS) campaigns with pyrethroids (February – March 2011 and November – December 2012) and an ITN mass distribution campaign (June – July 2012).

Rolling Malaria Indicator Surveys, analyzed with the latest geostatistical methods (see related PhD fellowships), provides insight into local transmission heterogeneity
