introduction • Malaria is an environmentaldiseasebecauseit’s a tropical or equatorial’s one and it’sexpended more in unhealthy arias. • In the D.R.Congo, malaria is an andemicdiseasewhichis the major cause of the regularincreasing of death rate, particularlyamongpregnantwomen and under five yearsoldchildren. • Fever is the main symptom of malaria. Jacky Kabwe
goals • to measure the impact of the insecticid treated bednet (ITNs) on the malaria among children under the age of five • To have an overall view on the use of bednet across the all country by comparing the provinces situation. • To bring out the influence of an unheathy environment on the impact of ITNs Jacky Kabwe
Context • Malaria is due to the mosquitoeswhich are the vectors for thisskill and at the east of the D.R.Congo, the warwhichtook place therefavorisedbad living conditions of many peoples • PNLP is an official institution which organise and elaborate programmes to reduce the rate of malaria. • PNLP preconise the use of insecticidtreatedbednets as one of issues to prevent malaria. So, It has been organise some free distribution of ITNscampainsacross the country in some provinces (more in the Easternbecause of the precarity of conditions of peoples striked by the war) Jacky Kabwe

analysismethod • The data source is DHS-DRC 2007 and wecompletedwith MICS 2 • The multivariateanalysis: the dependant variable is the feverwhile the twoweekspreceding the survey, while the explicative variable is the use of ITNs the night preceding the survey by childrenunder five. This have been presentedalso by province for comparability. Weintegrate the environment data to bring out their influence on ITNs. Jacky Kabwe

conclusion • PNLP strategy proves to be efficient because the impact of ITNs is distinctly meaningful. • the direct unhealthy environment prevent an inefficient action of ITNs in general and in the provinces where there are the highest rate of non hygienic means of evacuation of worm-out water and garbage( Maniema and Bas-Congo). • the free distribution of ITNs be assured beforehand when it will be extend first in provinces which have not yet beneficiate of it. • decision-makers, as well as the humanitarian must take more care on programmes of cleaning up the immediate environment. It would permit to get efficient results all over the Congolese population and on children under five in particular. Jacky Kabwe
