?? Exciting news in the fight against malaria ?? ???? ???? BIT is partnering with Malaria Consortium to design low-cost interventions to promote the use of insecticide-treated nets in Uganda and Nigeria. ??This work, funded by GiveWell, leverages BIT’s expertise in behavioural science and Malaria Consortium’s extensive experience in the prevention, management, and elimination of the disease. It will be one of the first major projects worldwide to apply behavioural insights to malaria prevention. ?? Over 90% of malaria cases and deaths occur in sub-saharan Africa. Nets are a powerful tool to prevent new infections - but work best when they are used consistently. ?? Through community-based and qualitative research, user-testing and more, we will help overcome the barriers people have to using nets and develop a low-cost solution that saves lives.
