This campaign will take place in a wave-based manner starting with the districts with the highest prevalence of Malaria and those that have been affected by floods.
Twenty-five districts will be covered under wave 1 and these include; Alebtong, Amolatar, Budaka, Bududa, Bugiri, Bukwo, Bulambuli, Butaleja, Butebo, Dokolo, Kaberamaido, Kalaki, Kapchorwa, Kibuku, Kween, Lira, Mbale, Namisindwa, Namutumba, Otuke, Paliisa, Serere, Sironko, Soroti and Tororo.
The campaign will be conducted in observance of the COVID-19 preventive measures. Village Health Teams and the rest of the net distribution team will spend very few hours in the homes and there will be no community mass gatherings as it has been in the previous campaigns.
The teams will be fully donned in Personal Protective Equipment while registering households and distributing the mosquito nets.
Mass mosquito net distribution campaigns are done every three years and continuously through antenatal care and schools countrywide.
