NetCALC
About NetCALC
NetCALC is a new excel-based modeling tool developed by Albert Kilian and the NetWorks project. It is designed to model several scenarios of continuous distribution approaches based on country-specific data, and provides estimations of the ability of varied channels to overall universal coverage. These channels include ANC, EPI, school-based distribution, curative care, community-level distribution, and retail. NetCALC has four modules that can be used for the following purposes:
- to calculate current net ownership and access levels based on the most recent survey and the number of nets distributed since that survey
- to calculate the number of nets needed overall to maintain universal coverage (irrespective of type of distribution planned)
- to calculate how well various routine or continuous channels may be able to contribute to universal coverage
- a free modeling module that allows for more flexibility, in particular to combine campaigns with other channels
Online Training Module
NetWorks has developed an online training module that consists of a 35 minute introduction to the tool and a 50 minute walkthrough on how to use each of the modules above. Each component is broken into 5-6 parts so you can pause your work at any time and complete it later. It includes 2 assessments, one for each component. The online training is free and a certificate of completion will be sent to those who complete the training in full. Go to the NetCALC Online Training Module. You will need to create a free account in order to begin the training.
