| Comments: | Dr Julia Ershova (CDC) and Dr Babis Sismanidis completed the mission.
The technical assistance (TA) by the WHO Task Force on TB impact measurement has been carried out in collaboration with partners such as US-CDC, RIT Tokyo and KNCV. The plan of TA is also discussed with the GF in Geneva.
Monitoring and Evaluation is an essential component of the GF funded program in each country (allocation of 5-15% of the budget is recommended). TB prevalence is one of MDG indicators and prevalence is directly measureable by a scientific study. However, quality technical assistance is essential since most countries except a few in Asia have not experienced such a survey at all or since 1960.
TA on PC based data management also contributed to developing electrical surveillance and other routine works.
As the result of the mission, the survey operation was scheduled from September 2011. However, it was postponed to 2012 due to the consequences by UN house bombing incident on 26 August 2011. |
