Elieible population: calculated as 84Yo of the total population in meso/hyper- endemic communities in the project area. Annual Treatment Objective: (ATO): the estimated number of persons living in meso/tryper-endemic areas that a CDTI project intends to treat with ivermectin in a given year. (iv) Ultimate Treatment Goal (UTG): calculated as the maximum number of people to be treated annually in meso/tryper endemic areas within the project area, ultimately to be reached when the project has reached full geographic coverage (normally the project should be expected to reach the UTG at the end of the 3'd year ofthe project). (v) Therapeutic coverage: number of people treated in a given year over the total population (this should be expressed as a percentage). (vi) Geoeraphical coverage: number of communities treated in a given year over the total number of meso/hyper-endemic communities as identified by REMO in the project area (this should be expressed as a percentage). (vii) Inte8ration: delivering additional health interventions (i.e. vitamin A supplements, albendazole for LF, screening for cataract, etc.) through CDTI (using the same systems, training, supervision and personnel) in order to maximise cost- effectiveness and empower communities to solve more of their health problems. This does not include activities or interventions carried out by community distributors outside of CDTI. (viii) Sustainabilitv: CDTI activities in an area are sustainable when they continue to function effectively for the foreseeable future, with high treatment coverage, integrated into the available healthcare service, with strong community ownership, using resources mobilised by the community and the government. (ix) Community self-monitoring (CSM): The process by which the community is empowered to oversee and monitor the performance of CDTI (or any community- based health intervention programme), with a view to ensuring that the programme is being executed in the way intended. It encourages the community to take full responsibility of ivermectin distribution and make appropriate modifications when necessary. (D (ii) (iiD vl WHO/APOC, 24 November 2008 FOLLOW UP ON TGG REGOMMENDATIONS Using the table below, fill in the recommendations of the last TCC on the project and describe how they have been addressed. TCC session 28 1 Number of Recommendatio n in the Report TCC RECOMMENDATIONS ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE PROIECT FOR TCA APOC MGT USE OI\AY Include APOC in partner's list This is noted and has been done. Intensify efforts to improve women involvement in CDTI The project paid advocacy visit to the Ministry of Women Affairs, and through them has started mobilizing the women wings of the different Community Development Associations (CDAs). A retired female justice ofthejuvenile court and a retired police officer were mobilizpdto assist in mobilization of women particularly in Ifo LGA. These efforts have resulted in a slight rise in the number of female CDDs. These efforts will be pursued further in 2009 Update census This willbe done in2009, definitely. The project is concerned that for quite a long time census is yet to be thoroughly updated. WHO/APOC, 24 November 2008 Executive Summary Prepare an Executive summary of the report in not more than one page. Ogun State is one of the 36 States in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Located in the South Western part of Nigeri4 it is made up of 20 local government areas with a projected population of 3.4 million. The greater proportion of the State lies in the tropical rain forest zone with a sizeable feature of Guinea Savannatr in the northem part. The people in the State are predominantly Yorubas of which there are Ijebus, Yewas, Egbas, Aworis, Eguns, and Remos.The prevalence survey of 1994 and the subsequent REMO refine of 1997 and 2000 revealed that the State is endemic for Onchocerciasis. Mectizan distribution in the State started in year 2001 with support form IFESH and APOC. CDTI is being implementedng52 communities in 8 LGAs. The total population of the endemic areas is 3I7,720. Population movements occur with the migration of young ones from the rural areas to urban centers in search of greener pastures. There are also movements when farmers and particularly fishermen move temporarily to new areas during particular seasons. Festive seasons (religious or traditional) provide opportunity for movement of persons from community to community and from urban areas to the communities, and vice versa. During the period being reported 837 communities were covered and207,549 persons heated thus achieving 88% Geographical coverage aad 65% Therapeutic coverage. The treahents also meant a coverage rate of 77Yo of the Annual Treatment Objective of 269,467 afi82%o of the UTG. The low treatment coverage was due to inadequate Mectizan obtained for the year. Following some misinformation from the supporting NGDO, MDP withheld the consignment meant for the State for 2008. When it was fully resolved it was already late to ship the consignment, and through the NOTF the project obtained loans from other States. 781 LGA health workers (301 new and 480 refresher), 609 front line health facility workers (321 new and 288 refresher), and 2495 CDDs (495 new and 2,000 refresher) were tained during the reporting period thus achievng 94% of ATrOs for health workers and 100% of CDDs ATrO respectively. 133 State and LGA Policy makers were mobilized as well as 358 Village Heads, 204 Women Leaders and263 Religious Leaders to support CDTI. The strengths of the implementation process include large numbers of trained health staff available for CDTI implementation, increased number of female CDDs, the involvement of religious organizations and churches in the CDTI process, high community awareness of the benefits of Mectizan treatment, and willingness of community members to comply with annual treatment. The major weakness experienced was the inadequate release of counterpart funding by LGAs. To this is the increasing complaints by CDDs over lack of incentives. The major challenge the project faced was late supply of Mectizan and inadequate numbers of quantities secured. Other challenges were instability of political appointees/caretakerltransition committees at the Local Government level, unsatisfactory quality in record keeping, inadequate number of CDDs in some communities and frequent change of LGA Coordinators. 2 WHO/APOC, 24 November 2008 SECTION 1: Background information 1.1. General information 1.1.1 Description of the project (briefly) - Geographical Iocation, topography, climate Ogun State, otherwise known as the Gateway State, was carved out of the defunct Western State on 3'o February, 1976by the Federal Military Government of Late General Murtala Ram at Mohammed. It lies within the tropics. Oyo and Osun States bound it in the West by the Benin Republic; in the south by Lagos State and the Atlantic Ocean; in the East by Ondo State and in the North. Ogun State occupies a total areas of 16,409,26 square kilometers. The climate follows the tropical pattern with the raining season starting about March and ending in November, followed by dry season. - Population: activities, cultures, language. The projected population from 2002 for the state is 3,262,889. The major ethnic groups are the Egba, Yewa, Awori, Egun, Ijebus and Remo; they belong in the main Yoruba ethnic group.Nigerians from other parts of the country as well as expatriates also live in the state. The languages spoken are mainly Yoruba (Languages of the predominantly majority) and English (Official languages). There are several dialects including Ijebu, Remo, Egba, Yewa, Awori, Egun, Ikale and Ilaje. The major occupation of the population is farming; fishing, Weaving of cloth (Aso-Oke), tie and dye (Kampala and ad ire) are practiced. Settlement pattern is largely dispersed. - Communicationsystems (roads...) Roads between major cities are in good conditions, but access roads to most of the endemic communities are in poor shape. Some are not possible during the rainy season. Despite this, transport by road remains a major means of communication among the communities. The electronics and print media are also veritable channels of communication. - Administrationstructure. The State consists of 20Local Government Areas with the political appointees being the Chairman. Legislative arm made up elected Councilors from various wards supporting the system. At the State level, the Executive Governor is the Head of administration. There are the Legislative and Judicial Arms. The capital of the State is located in Abeokuta. - Health system & Health Care Delivery (provide the number of health posts/centers in the project area if the information is available). There is an official PHC policy and structure in the Project area. It is a system of health care services where community participation forms the mainstay with support from the state, Local Govemment and NGOs. Level of functionality however varies across the state, the health facility in the State spread and located in various LGA, ranging from Health Posts to Hospital. There are 426 Health Clinic/Centers/ Posts and 8 Hospitals in the Project Areas.

Partnership The partner involved in project implementation in Ogun State are APOC, IFESIVUNIVA /FGN {NOCP-Natioml &Zonal Offices}, State Government, various Local Government and the Endemic Communities. Some Christians Organization is assisting in the distribution of Ivermectin being that, it comprises of both immediate and extended family living in a compound. APOC provides funding, technical guidance and logistics for project implementation. IFESIVITNIVA is mainly involved in planning, occasional advocacy and also assists in providing technical experts in Training, community mobilization, co-financing Prograrnme activities, monitoring, encouraging in Mectizan treatment. The NOCP zonalOffice is enabling a favourable environment for IFESIVUNIVA, supervision of CDTI in Ogun State. The State, LGA and endemic community carry out their various responsibilities under CDTI. Partners are working together in harmony to achieve a successful implementation of the Programme. However, a Field Officer was appointed by IFESIilUNIVA to supervise and oversee the fieldwork activities at all levels. Plan to orientate Community Coalition members i.e. Association of Local NGOs to develop each community. The meetings sensitize religious bodies (Christians and Moslems) in creating awareness to wanderer/strangers coming into the community. To also contribute incentives for CDDs and train Local NGO Coordinators as Monitors for effective distribution of Mectizan among the Community dwellers. 4 WHO/APOC, 24 November 2008 €ooN l<(l) -o E o) oz tNdo0r so €i 6lEe F) o ah E 6) U(n L clo .h o t!)q v, oo t<5 o v, to -c o c.(DtBlE>tG oxHIJ -o :^''cd t-.1 o sEl 'cJr/l9.d+itr -- 6)EO 8El.E-I E= o z c-.1 r, !l '-tsgts=loP i2.oEa>7 d z(!):i lt 3 bq) '8.

Outcome: - CDDs are now enjoying motivation from community members in some corlmunities. - Agreed to support CSM and SHM initiative. - Number of CDDs increase with Voluntary participation in drug distribution. - Women liberation and empowerment. Constraints: * Bad road and poor terrain experienced by the State and LG Supervisors especially smuggling route in Imeko-Afon and Yewa North and collapsed bridges in Odeda and Obafemi - Owode. * Climatic and Weather condition partially adaptable i.e. Flood disaster. To improve advocacy: o Sponsoring of Prograrnme segment (Media Chat and Press Conference) in media houses to solicit for support and create awareness.. o Marking of Oncho Day. o Showing documentaries of people affected with terminal complications of the disease. o Orgarization of drama and song festival to give orientation to Top functionary Officers for moral and approval support. o Production, Printing and Distribution of Souvenir such as Face-Caps, Stickers T-shirts and Pocket Calendars. 10 WHO/APOC, 24 November 2008 2.3. Mobilization, sensitization and health education of at risk communities. Provide information on I - The use of media and / or other systems to disseminate information. Use of Media Houses: The State Ministry of Health organizes regular Programme tagged 'karo o jire. Airing of this in GTV.GBC, Rock city F.M.NTA and FM News was regularly done. The Onchocerciasis Programme was aired in the following Media Houses: r' 'Eto flera ni Ipinle Ogun' in Paramount FM 94.5.{ GBC -'Healthy Living Segment'./ Mid-day News on Health and Environment [Oncho Day]. GTVAITA News in Yoruba, English and Egun. Few I.E.C materials were distributed to communities and religious organizations. The major medium was face-to-face discussions with community members by health workers. Some of these community discussion fora were organized through integration with other PHC Programrne such as AFP, NPI, RBM, .Health Education, RHP and HIV/AIDS training activities. Mobilization and Health Education of communities including women and minorities These are aimed at ensuring community involvement, participation and intensiff effort of numerous CDDs that are yet to be remunerated by the community. Mobilization meetings were also held with Religious Leaders for support in the aspect of giving incentives and negative attitude of CDDs towards Mectizan distribution. Mobilization of Community Development Association and Landlords Association meetings were carried out with Local Government Coordinators to achieve better coverage. Regular meetings with Chdstian Association of Nigeria {CAN} and this led some Churches to choose CDDs who in turn boost the CDTI distribution in Abeokuta North and South. 28 Churches being an Organization with complete household members agreed to carry out distribution,223 Chtxch Directed Distributors have been selected and trained while regishation and treatment was carried out and completed during the Health Week commemorated in various churches. Health Education Campaign in Churches and Mosques is in progress.. The project paid advocacy visit to the Ministry of Women Affairs, and through them has started mobilizing the women wings of the different Community Development Associations (CDAs). A retired female justice of the juvenile court and a retired police officer were mobilized to assist in mobilization of women particularly in Ifo LGA. Response of target communities/village: The various communities have responded by coming forth to take their drugs when these are made available. Accomplishments: . Level of acceptance by the opinion leaders and women fold is high. o Increase in the number of female CDDs Ways to improve mobilization and sensitization of the target communities: o Formation of Village Committee on Mectizan Distribution. o Involvement of more local NGOs and CBOs l1 WHO/APOC, 24 November 2008 2.4. Gommunity involvement Table 4: Communities participation in the CDTI (Please add more rows if necessary) Comment on: - Attendance of female members of the community at health education meetings is average. - In general, how do you rate the participation offemale members of the community meetings when CDTI tssues are being discusses: They were recognized and title holders were opportune to raise issue i.e. Iyaloja/Iyalaje. in the meetings. Participation in the discussion depends on what the male members says and agreed upon. Attrition of CDDs. Is attrition a problemfor the project? Ifyes, how is it addressed? There are problems of attrition but the rate is still minimal. With growing demands for incentives by cDDs this issue may become a source for high attrition rate in the project. Other issues Nil.

Where frequent transfers of trained staff occur, state what the project is doing, or intends to do, to remedy the situation. (The most important issue to describe is what measures were talren to ensure adequate CDTI implementationwhere not enough knowledgeable manpower was available or if stffi are frequently transfer1ed during the course of the campaign). Frequent transfer of health staff is a major issue, and the project has been handling this by training and retraining of those that come into the endemic area, and by training of other LGA health staff so that if they are posted to an Onchocerciasis endemic area, programme activities would not suffer much disruption. l3 WHO/APOC, 24 November 2008 cooe -o ozsc\ do Or o $ hi) o Q € € oE TI s P: a € 6 o B o boE No B L og + b\\ o * * E() A 6lL v, a aU o Lq) z E?[Q o-=+F v.i Sd lr *o o s ota c.l o\o ra o\ c.l o N ra)tf o 00N o raN o co olo c.t o ra) c.l N\.l c\ F.- c.l o rn c.l o.t c.l r- F--(\l o rr}N t-- c\ in ra) co o ra) c.l (n o tito rn oin c.l $(a la o\t+ ol oooN ia o\tc s(ao (u (u a) (J sIFd oot ooao oooc{ ooc.l N ola)c.l oinc.t ooti o n)rc N o q)L €) .=6alfr!o r. fro: TO:oq):-9 LC0J rr z =?llQia3 Su= io *o -'Js OI O t-,{ sooN o (,) o () -cc\(.) o F - -, - q) ai Gl lt f;E Eg E3E> 2E oI E*?F-d U U. +.q z r- \o cf) la) co € c.l \o co c-'l o\ \o\n \o co oN \o\o \o co co s\o \o co oo c-l €rr \o cn c.l$ o.l\o \o c.t \o c.l $ € \o co €$ o\o\o 66 al tl ra s € o\ t) EIo (l) I sU o F o€ o c.l o\o or- or- o€ o\o o € cl\o ct o tt) () iI .3le(J6J ;'e oe o L o& z E,'t?F-d o o *. q * @ o\o N o o\o o o\ o 00 o\o N (a oo \o ta) N @\o o\o 00 o o\o o ra) N o\ o\o o.ltl o\o €t- € = o n) so o\ o (u o o \co\ U o F o c..l o\n 6 oo o € o.l o ol oF-6 I Fl c) o n o z c, av o C)3 oa d lz o C)o oEo -vo Br! € tr -o Io ,vo () !o 3 oI .E q9(! !

Treatment was not optimal in most LGAs because of the inadequacy of Mectizan tablets obtained. The project had to borrow from other projects through the NOTF intervention when MDP could not release the project's consignment following misinformation from the supporting NGDO - UNIVA. Additionally, MDP, APOC and the NOTF felt that the NGDO was not assisting the project enough, and there were some missions to resolve the issues.
