Insecticide-Treated Net Use

26 years, 2000–2025 · 40 countries · 3 measures

This is the share of people who slept under an insecticide-treated bed net, modelled by the Malaria Atlas Project for the African countries where malaria is endemic. Nets are the main way malaria is prevented in Africa: they protect the sleeper from the night-biting mosquitoes that carry the parasite, and the insecticide kills mosquitoes that land on them.

This site holds every year from 2000 to 2025, read from MAP’s own data and stored exactly as published.

Precision

The headline is stored to 15 decimals, as published.

Rounded by this site

Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.

Changed by this site

Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.

From the Malaria Atlas Project's own Trends API (national estimates, with their uncertainty bounds). MAP serves the share as a proportion; the decimal point has been moved to a percentage without changing a digit.

Insecticide-Treated Net Use: questions and answers

What is the Insecticide-Treated Net Use?

This is the share of people who slept under an insecticide-treated bed net, modelled by the Malaria Atlas Project for the African countries where malaria is endemic. Nets are the main way malaria is prevented in Africa: they protect the sleeper from the night-biting mosquitoes that carry the parasite, and the insecticide kills mosquitoes that land on them.

Which years of the Insecticide-Treated Net Use can I download?

All 26, from 2000 to 2025, each as a CSV file, or every year together in one CSV.

Does MAP rank countries on it?

No, and this site does not order it either. The files hold values only.

Can I use it commercially?

Yes, under CC BY 3.0, with credit to MAP. The licence text is linked on this page.
