Objective
To test the impact of a nationwide Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets [LLINs] distribution program in the Democratic Republic of Congo [DRC] on all-cause under-five child mortality exploiting subnational variation in malaria endemicity and the timing in the scale-up of the program across provinces.
Design
Geospatial Impact Evaluation using a difference-in-differences approach.
Setting
Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Participants
52,656 children sampled in the 2007 and 2013/2014 DRC Demographic and Health Surveys.
Interventions
The analysis provides plausibly causal estimates of both average treatment effects of the LLIN distribution campaign and geospatial heterogeneity in these effects based on malaria endemicity. It compares …
