This indicator measures the proportion of households equipped with at least one mosquito net, regardless of whether it is treated or untreated, including insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). An increase in this percentage reflects higher awareness and proactive measures among communities to
combat mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria. Monitoring this statistic is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of public health campaigns and evaluating access to preventive measures in vulnerable populations. Additionally, it provides insights into the socio-economic factors influencing net possession, as households with limited resources might struggle to acquire ITNs, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to enhance community health and safety.
