Intervention coverage at 2015 in DRC and Zambia, and two coverage-standardized country variants modelled
| Module | ITN coverage | IRS coverage | Malaria case management | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DRC | Spectrum-Malaria | Usage: 55% | 0.27% | 6.6% |
| LiST | ITN owning and/or IRS-sprayed: 70% | 1.7% | ||
| Zambia | Spectrum-Malaria | Usage: 68.8% | 35.6% | 44.1% |
| LiST | ITN owning and/or IRS-sprayed: 74.7% | 18.4% | ||
| Coverage-standardized, DRC & Zambiab | Spectrum-Malaria | • 51% ITN usage at 2014 & 2015; • 70% ITN usage as target for 2016–2020; • IRS: 0.28% throughout 2014–2030. |
• 10% at 2014 & 2015; • 40% as target for 2016–2020 |
|
| LiST | • 77% ITN owning and/or IRS sprayed at 2014 & 2015; • 98% as target for 2016–2020 |
• 10% at 2014 & 2015; • 40% as target for 2016–2020. |

| Data source & definition | Spectrum-Malaria | WHO/MAP 2015 [24], % of national population sleeping under an ITN (including areas with PfPR = 0). | WHO 2015 [1], % of national population protected (all ages, including areas with PfPR = 0) | ACT treatment of RDT-positive (and RDT-negative) fevers in children 0–4 years [28], applied to uncomplicated malaria cases in all age groups |
| LiST | Households owning ≥1 ITNs or protected by IRS as measured in the most recent national-representative household survey (usually MIS, MICS or DHS)a | Children 0–4 years with a fever treated within 48 h of fever onset with an artemisinin-containing compound i.e. ACT as measured in the most recent national-representative household survey (usually MIS, MICS or DHS)a | ||

aLiST uses the measured values for years in which surveys occurred, and applies linear interpolation between measured points. For years after the last survey in a country, LiST assumes that coverage is constant
