Malaria market analysis Nigeria
Objectives
- Assess availability, pricing, product types, local versus imported supply, quality assurance, distribution networks and market trends across states.
- Examine how dwelling location, socioeconomic status and demographics influence prevention product preferences.
- Analyse consumer behaviour, including factors driving product choice, ownership, usage, expectations and awareness.
- Explore support systems and the role of government agencies and stakeholders in production, importation and distribution.
- Provide evidence-based recommendations to improve access and affordability of malaria prevention commodities.
To gain a deeper understanding of the private sector’s role in malaria prevention and the factors influencing consumer choice, the Malaria Market Analysis study will assess the availability, pricing, affordability and demand for insecticide-treated nets and other malaria prevention tools. Working with the Ministry of Health and relevant agencies to ensure alignment with national priorities, Malaria Consortium will examine both supply and demand, alongside an analysis of the regulatory and support systems influencing the malaria prevention market in Anambra, Borno, Lagos, Kano and Rivers states and the Federal Capital Territory. The findings will inform strategies to address gaps in access and use of malaria prevention commodities.
Activities:
The project team are implementing a mix of qualitative and quantitative data collection involving key stakeholders, including regulatory agencies, private sector actors and community members. Activities include stakeholder engagement to build consensus and guide strategy; capacity strengthening through training of data collectors; and outlet and household surveys to assess market dynamics. In-depth interviews with policymakers and regulators will help uncover systemic barriers and opportunities to equitable access and use of malaria prevention tools. Data analysis and dissemination of findings at state, national and international level through meetings and peer-reviewed publications will support evidence-based decision-making and co-creation of strategies by policy makers and key stakeholders for improved access to malaria prevention tools.
