Country Profile • Total population: 27,311,978 • Geography: Three ecological zone: Mountain, Hills and Plain Administrative division Development regions: 5 Zones: 14 Districts:75 Eastern region Central region Western region Mid western region Far western region
Health Administration and Service Delivery Central Level Regional level District and Community level

Bancrofti • Vector: C. Quinquifasciatus • Year MDA started: 2003 • Geographical coverage achieved in 2013 • By 2014, MDA stopped in 20 IUs.

LF Elimination Programme: Key Milestones Step 1: Mapping Step 2: MDA Implementation Step 3: Surveillance Pre TAS in 16 and remapping in 3 IUs MDA stopped in 15 IUs, TAS1 in 5 IUs, Pre TAs in 10 IUs MDA stopped in 5 IUs Mapping 2003 2011 2013 2012 2001/2005 2010/2011 2014 MDA rolled out to all endemic districts; TAS in 16 districts TAS in 5 IUs MDA initiated in 1 IU & then scaled up in subsequent years
PC Programme and Financing • Contributors to the 2013/2014 programme costs (and rough estimate of contributions by each):
PC Coverage, 2013 * 65% for LF and 75% for STH ** reported coverage was verified by coverage survey or similar independent activity
Impacts of MDA in Sentinel Sites (LF) Note: All reports not available
PC Monitoring and Evaluation • Post MDA coverage survey • Transmission assessment survey (TAS) • Pre-transmission assessment survey • Monitoring during PC implementation (MDA) • SAE protocol • Detection: training to volunteers on possible SAEs and reporting/self reporting, • Management: Programme provides free treatment of SAEs • Reporting: number of and types of SAEs
LF Transmission Assessment Survey to Stop MDA • Integrated assessment of STH considered? Yes
LF Transmission Assessment: Forecasting *sum of the total sample size required for each EU assessed;
MDA Status, TAS and Post MDA Survey Plan Note: No colour significance. Resource identified till 2016.
Integrated Vector Management(LF) • No LF specific IVM activities • LLIN distribution (malaria programme) • Space spraying/indoor residual spraying for malaria and Kala-azar • IEC/BCC/awareness • Monitoring and evaluation are done by specific programme (eg: LLIN coverage survey, vector survey, LLIN durability study etc)
Best Practices • Multi-sectoral involvement ( mobilization of school teachers and local leaders) • Media mobilization • School health and nutrition week
Challenges and Issues LF • Urban coverage • Post MDA surveillance • Morbidity management • Low lying river valleys STH • Monitoring • Achieving and sustaining coverage • Reaching non-enrolled school children
