NTD Goals & Objectives Sample Clauses

NTD Goals & Objectives. Before assessing the DIB investment case, it is important to understand why NTD stakeholders and endemic country governments may be interested in an innovative financing instrument like an impact bond. Reviewing the long- and short-term NTD health and financial goals provides this context. NTD Health Goals and Objectives: As outlined in the “WHO 2020 Roadmap on NTDs,” the NTD community’s long-term objective is to eradicate, eliminate, or control the thirteen NTDs that affect over 1.5B people globally and disproportionately burden the most poor, vulnerable populations (WHO, 2012). The Roadmap specifically set 2015 and 2020 targets focused on five primary strategies: preventive chemotherapy, vector and immediate host control, veterinary public health, provision of safe WASH, and intensified disease management ("Major infectious diseases," 2017). These targets also align with the SDG’s NTD-related goals to increase treatment coverage and reduce the number of individuals requiring NTD interventions. As part of these long-term targets, the NTD community is also focused on accelerating the control and elimination for the five PC-NTDs: lymphatic filariasis (LF), onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH), and trachoma. These PC-NTDs make up the largest share of the global NTD burden and can treated simultaneously through integrated mass drug administration (MDA) treatments. The intervention goal is to achieve effective MDA coverage, defined as at least 65% coverage for LF and onchocerciasis endemic regions, at least 75% for STH and schistosomiasis, and at least 80% for trachoma (WHO, 2017b). To achieve these goals by 2020, the Expanded Special Project for Elimination of NTDS (ESPEN) was established in 2016 as a coordinating entity for NTD efforts and stakeholders including international funders, multilateral organizations, and, most critically, the endemic country governments. ESPEN has developed a strategic framework with clear mid- and short- term objectives and targeted outcomes (ESPEN, 2017b; ESPEN & WHO-AFRO, 2017). This framework has four core and two supplementary objectives: • Scaling up integrated treatments to full geographical coverage • Scaling down treatments when transmission is interrupted or controlled • Strengthening information systems to drive evidence-based action • Improving supply chain management to increase donated medicine effectiveness • Supplementary:
