Malaria rates in Benin, DRC, Ghana, Mali & Sierra Leone increased as net coverage increased, which is more evidence that the malaria data being used is not great.
I appreciate your sharing what you find as you dig through the data. But I’d also recommend sharing links for statements like this (or at least instructions for finding the same information you found). This makes it much easier for other people to dig along with you.
Elsewhere, I have read that AMF requires its distribution partners to collect monthly malaria case rate data from all health centers in the distribution zone for 12 months preceding and 4 years following the distribution. I don’t think this requirement is actually enforced.
If you email AMF to ask about whether they enforce this, I think you’ll get a response pretty quickly. Ditto other questions you come up with in your research. (At least, based on my own experience emailing AMF about things.)
