The control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) requires timely, high quality data to identify where transmission is occurring, target interventions effectively, and monitor and assess the impact of interventions. Information systems used to collect and analyze NTD data however have several shortcomings that limit the data available for decision-making.
CHAI is currently conducting an assessment (including current strengths and gaps) of data and surveillance systems for Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) in two selected countries in Africa (Zambia and Kenya) to identify opportunities for further investments. This assessment is intended to lay the foundation for achieving a robust, integrated NTD information system where case data analyzed alongside interventions data can inform where to target NTD interventions, how to plan surveys, and how to estimate the impact of these interventions on NTD case burden.
