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).

1. 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)

2. Visualize the path to elimination

3. 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

Overall objectives for the TAP:

Drive stakeholder alignment

▪ Bring together all interested parties in a collaborative planning process

▪ Guide country leadership in a critical evaluation of existing partner support and stakeholder activities

▪ Use Evidence to clearly highlight the gap between current efforts and those necessary to achieve 2020 elimination…survey data, clear milestones

Delineate the path to 2020

Develop messages to drive advocacy

▪ Clearly articulate the actions and resources needed to achieve 2020 elimination ,rationalized by economic loss to disability/return on investments, MDGs and country development agenda e.g. Vision 2030 for Kenya

FACIAL CLEANLINESS AND ENVIROMENTAL IMPROVEMENT

F and E(in all districts)The results of F and E interventions though not stated are complex and are best done at impact assessment(not done in 2011/12).

Some interventions currently going on include: 1.Water provision- bore holes-Water and Irrigation Ministry 2.CLTS-Community Led Total Sanitation-Community Health

Impact assessments:-Narok(2010)

1. Reduction in TF prevalence from 30.5% to 11%

2.Increase in clean faces from 46% to 57%

These are outcomes of AFE19
