With over 20 years of proven impact, the organization works with governments, academic institutions, local and international organizations to deliver scalable, locally led health solutions grounded in research and evidence to strengthen health systems, inform policy and derive sustainable impact through strategic partnerships and organizational excellence. Malaria Consortium, in collaboration with the National Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP) and state malaria elimination programmes (SMEPs), will support the 2026 insecticide-treated net (ITN) mass distribution campaigns in Borno, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Kogi, and Abia, introducing pyrethroid-chlorfenapyr dual-active-ingredient ITNs for the first time in these states. To evaluate the implementation and impact of the campaigns, a series of cross-sectional household surveys. The surveys will verify ITN receipt immediately after distribution and assess household ITN ownership, utilisation, physical durability, and functional survival at baseline, one month, and 12, 24, and 36 months post-campaign. Findings from these surveys will generate evidence to inform malaria vector control policy and strengthen ITN programme implementation in Nigeria. Purpose of the assignment The purpose of this terms of reference (TOR) is to engage research personnel who will carry out a baseline household survey before the campaign (survey B1), an immediate verification survey (survey B2) after the net distribution, and a one-month post-campaign evaluation survey (B3) in Borno State. Scope The survey will be used to gather baseline and post-campaign data on coverage, ITN ownership and use rates and associated factors, physical conditions of the ITNs, malaria prevention in pregnancy, treatment-seeking behaviour, and other relevant variables, and also validate the ITN campaign data using an immediate post-distribution verification survey. Methods Borno SMEP and Malaria Consortium will jointly implement B1 and B3 surveys, covering 60 wards/clusters and 720 households per survey round. During each survey, each partner will be responsible for half of the wards/clusters and households. For the ITN immediate verification (B2) survey, SMEP will cover 15 wards (540 households), while Malaria Consortium will cover 30 wards (1,080 households), to be conducted within two weeks of the campaign. SMEP will engage community health workers, while Malaria Consortium will recruit consultants. All survey personnel should meet the same eligibility criteria and receive standardised training prior to field deployment to ensure harmonised implementation, data quality, and consistency across survey teams.

There will be back-checks in 50% of the wards selected randomly and 20% of the households in selected wards, in which a subset of the questionnaires will be administered for the purpose of data collection verification.
