M&E - what is measured, and reaching out to donors.

Abstract This book chapter is intended to measure egg counts, disease incidence (damage to organs, anemia, growth retardation) and affect cognition. Epidemiologists and mathematical modelers agree that it is unlikely that schistosomiasis and HRT will be eradicated in a very long time, and certainly not until socio-economic recovery with better sanitation and provide potable water introduced in all endemic areas. However, the locals thought that elimination is certainly possible and is the current goal in many countries (WHO has made the plan available to program managers), acknowledging that some hot spots of infection will likely stay with these requiring more regularity of processing. Already in some regions, the MDA has greatly reduced popularity measured by structured monitoring and evaluation.
