Multivariable logistic regression results showing average programme impact on under-five child fever (Column 1), fever episodes among children under 2 years (Column 2), fever episodes among children between 2 and 4 years (Column 3), fever episode among male children (Column 4), and fever episode among female children (Column 5). All models control for survey-round fixed effects
95% confidence intervals shown in parentheses are based on Huber’s cluster robust variance estimator

^ap-values based on a pooled linear model with an interaction term between age and treatment (Columns 2 and 3) and sex and treatment (Columns 4 and 5), respectively
