  6. Trachoma action plan template Pilot: Kenya; March 2011 Objectives for the TAP pilot • Using Kenya as an Example: • To develop a concise high-level strategic document(tool) to complement KNPET(2008-2015). • Create comprehensive set of information and view of the current state of trachoma in Kenya (Survey data, Suspected endemic districts, Resource needs, Opportunities, Lessons learnt) • Visualize the path to elimination • Join the two to show how we get to elimination (road map) • Then(Ultimately) • Refine and improve the TAP template for eventual rollout to all endemic countries

  7. Trachoma action plan template Pilot: Kenya; March 2011 • Government involvement /Consent and Leadership • Developed with involvement of all key stakeholders • NGDOs, • Field Implementers( from districts), • Local technical advisors(UoN). • Technical Support from ITI.
