Adequate ITN coverage in Africa is unlikely to be achieved by either the public sector or the private sector alone. Private sector net markets are efficient and sustainable but they have important limitations. In most countries, only untreated nets are currently provided. A strategic framework stresses the need for sustained subsidies, where public and private sectors have complementary, cooperative and mutually supportive roles.Textp. 465-466enMALARIAMOSQUITO NETSDISEASE CONTROLINSECTICIDESRURAL COMMUNITIESTANZANIAHEALTH EXPENDITUREECONOMIC IMPLICATIONSSUBSIDIESRETAIL MARKETINGPUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSSOUTH OF SAHARAVIET NAMCHINABED NETSJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
