Correction: Sub-National Targeting of Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention in the Sahelian Countries of the Nouakchott Initiative

A spatial decision support framework for identifying areas suitable for seasonal chemoprevention and quantifying the size of the population of target children and the amount of the required antimalarial tablets. A) Monthly Africa Rainfall Estimates version 2 (RFE 2.0) data from 2002–2009 at 10 × 10 km spatial resolution [NOAA 2013] were used to generate average long term monthly rainfall which are then used to define average seasonality (Section D in S1 File); B) Maps of total population are disaggregated by age structure (3 months to below 5 years; 5 years to below 10 years) using data from census and household surveys and by urban and rural using population density, night time lights and other land cover classifications (Section C in S1 File). L) The median number of transmission months was extracted for each health district from the climate based map of length of transmission (Section E in S1 File) and was multiplied by the estimated number of SMC targeted children and the 1 SP and 3 AQ tablets per child per month (Section F in S1 File).
