Malaria remains a major public health problem in Nigeria despite being preventable and treatable. It is endemic throughout Nigeria with 97% of the population being at risk. Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) campaigns are two key preventive strategies deployed in Nigeria as strategies for malaria elimination in the National Malaria Strategic Plan (NMSP) 2021 – 2025.
Both ITN and SMC campaigns were considered for integration due to some similarities observed in the planning, implementation and post-campaign phases for cost-efficiency and avoidance of duplication of efforts.
