FY24 Work Plans for each of Act | West's 11 countries.

FY23 Work Plans for each of Act | West's 11 countries.

The FY2020 work plan outlines the activities that are expected to be undertaken in Ghana in the next fiscal year through USAID's Act to End NTDs | West program (Act | West), led and implemented in Ghana by FHI 360.

USAID's Act to End NTDs | West program will support the elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, Guinea, Cote d’Ivoire, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo. The program seeks to build upon the achievements of the END in Africa and ENVISION projects in West Africa in their efforts to eliminate lymphatic filariasis (LF) and trachoma as public health problems, and onchocerciasis (OV) in selected countries. It aims to enable Neglected Tropical Disease programs (NTDPs) to sustain treatment for long-term control programs for schistosomiasis (SCH), soil-transmitted helminths (STH) and OV and to mainstream NTDPs into the national health system. The Act to End NTDs | West FY2020 Work Plan is built upon the accumulated experience and lessons learned in NTD programs in West Africa and the current program’s first year of implementation, directly by FHI 360 or in collaboration with our partners.

It’s no secret that men and women don’t always have equal access to health services, so USAID’s NTD Programs recently studied gender balance in mass drug administration for NTDs.
