the use of ACTs for the treatment of simple malaria and intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) for pregnant women, replacing the chemo chloroquine prophylaxis, (v) community awareness. Furthermore, the national policy against malaria has been translated into a strategic plan against malaria (2008-2012) with the objective to allow by late 2012, at least 80% of pregnant women and children under 5 years to sleep under a mosquito net impregnated with insecticide. In addition, it was expected to provide access to TPI by the end of 2012 at least 80% of pregnant women. At least 60% of people with malaria, particularly children under aged 5 and pregnant women should have in 2012, quick access (within 24 hours after onset of symptoms) to the effective treatment of malaria. Admittedly, some constraints are notes, these include the following: (i) poor management of the programme, (ii) lack of resources, especially human and financial, (iii) low access to prevention services and treatment, (iv) low community involvement, (v) the failure of the information system, (vi) the low purchasing power of the population, especially vulnerable groups, (vii) lack of budget at the CSS. Chart 2: Percentage of population with ITN in the household Source: 2011-2012 DCAT Since the government has specific documents to guide the actions (PNDS / PDSS) of budget allocations (MTEF), of a COMEG firmly committed to supply CSS, according to its mission, in addition to the support of development partners, achieving this objective can be considered as possible. And malaria control will be given special attention in the context of the MDGs 4, 5 and 6. Use of mosquito nets by children According the DCAT-II, more than four in five children (81%) had slept under a mosquito net the night before the interview, but only 26% of children under five slept under an ITN. Therefore, in only about a third (32%), the net was insecticide-treated. Compared to the results of the previous survey in 2005, the proportion of children under five who slept under a mosquito net impregnated or not with insecticide has increased, ranging from 68% to 81 In households with an ITN, 75% of children slept under such a net. A little more than three quarters of pregnant women slept under a net the night before the interview (78%) and 21% slept under an ITN. In addition, the results show that in households with an ITN, 71% of pregnant women slept under this type of net the night before the interview. Comparing the results with those of the previous survey show that the proportion of pregnant women who protected themselves from malaria by sleeping under a mosquito net of any type increased from 67% to 78%. Haemoglobin level A haemoglobin level below 8.0 g / dl is seen as an indirect indicator of malaria. At the national level, 4% of children aged 6-59 months have a haemoglobin less than 8.0 g / dl. This is slightly higher among children aged 9-23 months than in other age groups. There is a 74
