Definitions
(i) Total the total population living in meso/hyper-endemiccommunities within the project area (based on REMO and census taking)
(ii) Eligible population: calculated as 84%o of the total population in meso/hyper-endemic communities in the project area.
(iii) Annual Treatment Objective: (ATO): the estimated number of persons livingin mesolhyper-endemic areas that a CDTI project intends to treat withivermectin in a given year.
(iv) Ultimate Treatment Goal (UTG): calculated as the maximum number of peopleto be treated annually in meso/hyper endemic areas within the project area,ultimately to be reached when the project has reached full geographiccoverage (normally the project should be expected to reach the UTG at the endof the 3'd year of the project).
(v) Therapeutic coverage: number of people treated in a given year over the totalpopulation (this should be expressed as a percentage).
(vi) Geographical coverage: number of communities treated in a given year overthe total number of meso/hyper-endemic communities as identified by REMOin the project area (this should be expressed as a percentage).
(vii) Integration: delivering additional health interventions (i.e. vitamin Asupplements, albendazole for LF, screening for cataract, etc). Through CDTI(using the same systems, training, supervision and personnel) in order tomaximise costs-effectiveness and empower communities to solve more of theirhealth problems. This does not include activities or interventions carried outby community distribution outside of CDTI.
(viii) Sustainability: CDTI activities in an area are sustainable when they continueto function effectively for the foreseeable future, with high treatment coverage,integrated into the available healthcare service, with strong communityownership, using resources mobilised by the community and the govemment.
(ix) Community self-monitoring (CSM): The process by which the community isempowered to oversee and monitor the performance of CDTI (or anycommunity-based health intervention programme), with a view to ensuring thatthe programme is being executed in the way intended. It encourages thecommunity to take full responsibility of ivermectin distribution and makeappropriate modifications when necessary.

2.2. Advocacy
The project managed to conduct advocacy to 15 RHMT members. During the advocacymeeting the following were included in the discussion, quick review on the disease, roles ofthe NOCP/MOH, APOC, SSI, and RHMT, it was insisted that RHMT supervision shouldinclude CDTI activities.
At district level the project conducted advocacy to district PHC and CHMT, this was done inIleje district. At community level VEOs and sub village leaders were advocated in all 3
districts.
The following table shows the number of policy/decision makers advocated at differentlevel per each district
2.3. Mobilization, sensitization and health education of at riskcommunities
Information dissemination :
These activities were done through communication with village leaders, andcommunity leaders using telephones and letters. Also head teachers and their schoolchildren in all affected areas. Head Teachers and their pupils played a big role ininformation sending to communities.
It was agreed that in any meeting conducted in the community whereby many peoplewill attend, implementation of CDTI activities should be one of the agenda.
Usually FLHF staffs who are very close to the communities at risk do attendcommunity meetings and they disseminate information.
Response of target communities/village. Was excellent
Accomplishments of the project in this year are-' More community members were involved in the implementation of CDTI activities.. There was no doubt on the side effects of the drug.
Suggestion of way to improve mobilization and sensitization of target communities -' Use of communities meetings conducted by FLHF, hence funds should be added.

2.5. Gapacity building
Adequacy of available knowledgeable manpower at all levels.In this year 2008 the project was managed to train new RHWs 17 and re-train 71, also wetrained 142 new CDDs and re-train 489 in all240 Oncho endemic communities. Training ofnew CDDs was aimed to increase the number of CDDs, but also was to increase the numberof female CDDs as this move less than Male CDDs.
Advocacy to RHMT and CHMT in Ileje district was done so as to enable projectsustainability.
Where frequent transfers of trained staff occur, state what the project is doing, or intends todo, to remedy the situation.The issue of frequent transfer of staff is being solved by sustainable training of new FLHWsto increase their number at health facility and also the project discusses with CHMTs to avoidfrequent transfers of staffs from Oncho endemic area.
