Malaria remains a significant public health concern in Cameroon's rural areas, necessitating robust vector control measures to reduce morbidity and mortality. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to evaluate CHW practices and perceptions regarding vector control interventions. A preliminary analysis reveals that while 85% of surveyed CHWs reported using insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs), there is variability in the frequency and duration of their use, suggesting a need for targeted training and support to enhance consistent application. The findings highlight the importance of integrating community engagement strategies and continuous education programmes to optimise vector control efforts within malaria prevention initiatives. Implement periodic retraining sessions for CHWs focusing on best practices in ITN utilization, alongside distribution of additional nets to ensure adequate coverage against malaria vectors. Malaria Prevention, Community Health Workers, Vector Control, Cameroon Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
