Abstract

This article explores the relationship between the cover of insecticide-treated mosquito net and some indicators of education. The analysis is based on a panel sample of 41 countries of sub-Saharan African over the period 2001-2006. Our results suggest that cover of insecticide-treated mosquito net positivelyaffect the indicators of education.

Cet articles’intéresse à la relation entre la couverture en moustiquaires imprégnées d’insecticide et quelquesindicateurs d’éducation. L’étude est réalisée en panel à partir d’un échantillon de 41 pays d’Afrique sub-saharienne sur la période de 2001 à 2006. Nos résultats suggèrent qu’en général l’augmentation de la couverture en moustiquaire affecte positivement les indicateurs d’éducation considérés.
