This tool is designed to help National Malaria Control Programs explore the most cost effective option of deploying current World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended mosquito net and IRS products for malaria control.
In this tool, a project is a collection of regions and a region is defined as a management unit - this could be an administration unit, province or village. For each region defined in the tool, there is a set of outputs summarising the impact and cost effectiveness of intervention packages.
IRS is very focal and usually completed in a smaller region of a larger province or district. The model assumes that IRS is applied at random to the population so it is more appropriate to create separate IRS regions and non-IRS regions for this assessment and adjust population size accordingly.
