NetMark Full Market Impact™: Total commercial sales in NetMark countries surpass 40 million nets

NetMark works with 39 international and African manufacturers and distributors of ITNs, in eight countries to support sustainable commercial markets for ITNs while targeting subsidies to vulnerable populations. NetMark partners include international organizations, NGOs, small-to-medium-sized African enterprises and multi-national corporations. NetMark’s Full Market Impact™ (FMI™) approach increases sales and use of ITNs across all sectors of society, stimulating ITN demand through public education campaigns, joint investment with the private sector to expand availability of their products, advocacy for improved policy environment, and supporting the development and transfer of new manufacturing and treatment technologies to African businesses.

In the eight countries where NetMark has provided this type of support (e.g. Ghana, Nigeria, Mali, Senegal, Zambia, Uganda, Ethiopia and Zimbabwe), cumulative sales of ITNs have surpassed 15 million units. NetMark estimates that the total commercial cumulative sales of nets (treated and untreated) in these countries between 2002 and May 2006 has exceeded 40 million nets. In addition to selling ITNs, NetMark partners have also sold over 14 million re-treatment kits.
