Assessment of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Net (LLIN) Ownership, Utilization, and Associated Barriers in Malaria-Endemic Communities of Ethiopia

2026Open accessJimma University

Abstract

Although Ethiopia has made strides in LLIN ownership and prioritized protection for vulnerable demographics, overall utilization remains below the 80% threshold required for community-wide protection. To bridge the gap between ownership and consistent use, national strategies should transition toward skill-based interventions and targeted communication to address practical barriers and seasonal misconceptions.
