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

Ce rapport est fait pour informer des décisions futures des partenaires qui travaillent en Afrique avec le programme USAID’s Act to End Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) | West (Act |West) ou même pour les African Neglected Tropical Disease Programs (NTDPs) qui veulent adopter ces plateformes technologiques de Collecte Electronique de données (EDC) pour faire des Enquêtes Spécifiques des Maladies (DSA) mais qui ont besoin de plus des informations avant de commencer.

This report is intended to inform future decisions by Africa-based implementing partners within USAID’s Act to End Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) | West (Act | West) and African Neglected Tropical Disease Programs (NTDPs) who wish to adopt EDC platforms for upcoming DSAs but require more information before doing so.

This report outlines the key achievements and challenges in the first six months of the second year of implementation of USAID's Act to End NTDs | West Program, spanning the period October 1, 2019–March 31, 2020.

Cette brochure résume le travail de la loi de l'USAID pour mettre fin aux MTN | Programme Ouest, qui donne une vue d’ensemble des activités du programme et des progrès accomplis à ce jour alors que nous continuons à prendre des mesures pour perturber les dommages causés par les maladies débilitantes de la pauvreté. Construit sur la base d'une large coopération internationale et mis en œuvre par un consortium solide de partenaires profondément engagés, dirigé par FHI 360, Act | West travaille en étroite collaboration avec les gouvernements de 11 pays africains pour éliminer et contrôler à long terme cinq des MTN les plus courantes au monde.

This brochure summarizes the work of USAID's Act to End NTDs | West Program, providing a big picture look at program activities and progress to date as we continue taking action to disrupt the damage of debilitating diseases of poverty. Built on a foundation of broad international cooperation and implemented by a strong consortium of deeply committed partners, led by FHI 360, Act | West works closely with the governments of 11 African countries to eliminate and control five of the world’s most common NTDs over the long term.

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.

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

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.
