... Although WHO makes concerted efforts to foster the convergence of the two perspectives (GHS and UHC) in order to strengthen the global health system, political veracities and resource scarcity force policymakers to go with one agenda (WHO, 2022). It is important to note that gaps will always exist in the global health management system due to geopolitical dynamics and many other dynamic socioeconomic factors (Alilio et al., 2022;Ibn-Mohammed et al., 2021). Of note is the system's fragmented nature, even at the country level. ...

... instructive, directive, non-directive, public) in modifying health behaviours. Evaluations of multi-component communication campaigns in Burkina Faso, Liberia, Nigeria and Tanzania have found that interventions utilising multiple IMHC constructs and disseminated through heterogenous channels offer the greatest promise in fostering ideation towards health technologies, from contraceptives to insecticide-treated nets (Awantang et al. 2018;Babalola and Vonrasek 2005;Krenn et al. 2014;Okoh et al. 2021;Ricotta et al. 2015). Though never explicitly used for this purpose in the extant literature, the IMHC could guide evaluation of the content and messaging characteristics of social marketing efforts to promote PrEP. ...

... Descriptions of all variables included in the analysis are shown in Table 1. Initial selection of covariates was based on a literature review and expert opinion [11][12][13]19]. ...

... A previous analysis of post-bed net-campaign surveys from Nigeria found significant increase in bed net usage after behavioural change communication through mass media [24]. Secondary analysis of Nigerian Malaria indicator survey showed that topic-specific social and behavioural change communication improved the use of ITNs among children [25]. This information suggests that distributing long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets through mass campaigns should be accompanied by an educational component. ...

... The challenge, therefore, is to maintain high coverage between the mass distribution that occurs every 3-4 years [7]. Between universal coverage campaigns, LLIN coverage may be sustained by routine distributions through school and health facilities services [8,9]. The insecticidal effectiveness of WHO recommended LLINs are shown to last for at least three years of use. ...
