Senegal

Senegal had an estimated population of 10.9 million in 2004, with about 54% living below the poverty line. The GDP per capita is $1,700. Senegal has a promising economy with rising investments and a low inflation rate.

Malaria is endemic throughout the country accounting for 30% of all outpatient attendance. The National Malaria Control Programme outlines insecticide treated nets (ITNs) as a key strategy for malaria control.

According to NetMark research, the national household ITN coverage rate is estimated at about 39%.

The National Malaria Control Programme has 50 centres for ITN treatment in operation or planned with subsidized nets and treatments.

NetMark's Work in Senegal

NetMark launched in Senegal in 2002. NetMark and its formal and informal partners have had considerable success in increasing ITN awareness and coverage. A baseline survey on insecticide-treated nets was conducted in 2000, and a midline survey was conducted in 2004. Data show that ITN awareness during that time period increased from 70% to 97%, and that ownership of currently treated ITNs increased from about 8% to 39%.
