Collaboration
• USAID through ENVSION propose to fund trachoma baseline mapping in:
• Chad, Cote d’Ivoire and Zimbabwe
•
An additional contribution of approximately £0.6m or $1 m
•
This is in addition to:
•
FHI 360 mapping in; Cambodia and Laos (and impact surveys in Vietnam)
•
RTI mapping in; Benin, DRC, Guinea, Mozambique, Nepal, Senegal, Tanzania,
and Uganda
• We’d like to thank RTI, FHI360 and USAID for their ongoing support and
collaboration
ICTC - Celebrating our ten year anniversary in 2014
Collaboration
• We are exploring opportunities with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical
Medicine to provide ophthalmic health workers in trachoma endemic countries
with distance learning courses to build knowledge of trachoma and epidemiology
• The World Health Organisation are supporting work to co-ordinate trachoma and
other disease mapping:
• Yaws mapping in Vanuatu (training to be held in October)
• Guinea worm mapping in Sudan and Gambella (Ethiopia)
• The World Health Organisation are working in collaboration with LSHTM and ITI to
achieve Impact Assessment standardisation
• We’d like to thank all of our partners; Ministries of Health, ICTC, ITI, LSHTM, WHO
and especially DFID for supporting and encouraging us to stretch our goals

Working with ICTC members to build a legacy
•
TT surgery: GTMP is committed to assisting Ministries of Health to develop strategies to
operate on TT patients identified during GTMP surveys. (Currently; Laos, Cambodia,
Zimbabwe, Eritrea, and Egypt have plans and/or donor commitments.)
•
Scope of baseline mapping: GTMP will work with WHO HQ and WHO AFRO, to find and
review ‘gaps’ where baseline mapping is required
•
Protocol and application process for scientific access to data (after primary publication
by countries): in progress. There is a recommendation to link funding to USAID’s funding
and the NTD Support Center and to involve local researchers to build capacity.
• For example: GTMP will launch an RFA for a research group to overlay WASH and
trachoma data. There is potential to start this work in Ethiopia
ICTC - Celebrating our ten year anniversary in 2014
Working with ICTC members to build a legacy
•
Unit cost analysis: GTMP will review the cost drivers in different
countries/regions to better understand relative costs of working in these areas
•
Phones audit: we are conducting an android phone audit, to inform how these
assets might be used by future programs

Great progress to-date
The end of mapping is in sight
(but still a lot of hard work required over the next 6 months)
ICTC - Celebrating our ten year anniversary in 2014
The programme aims to eliminate blinding trachoma from Kenya
and Malawi and make significant progress towards the elimination
of trachoma in Uganda, Mozambique, and Katsina State (Nigeria)
using the SAFE methodology over 5 years.
11 million people will receive treatment in their communities
160,000 surgeries will be performed.
