W}IO/AIIOC. 26 September 2003 Executive Summarv

Niger State has 25 administrative divisions knorvn as Local Government Areas out of which 2l arc implementing CDTI. The projected population for the State is 3.2 million (i.e. based on the l99l census). There are 2.583 affected communities in these 2l LGAs rvith an estimaled population of 1.687.560 at risk of rnfection and blindness from Onchocerciasis.

Dunng the period of report. 1.092.069 people were treated in 2.193 communities. The ATO for the vcar was 1.139.606. These figrres represent 6-5% therapeutic and 85% geographic coverages respectireh'. The accurate Ultimate Treatment Goal (UTG) for the project rvill be determined b1,the end of the first quarter of year 2004 when census for 4 newly added LGAs, and additional communities of 7 old treatment LGfu which were flound to be qualified for CDTI (as a result of REMO update and finalization of Januarv. 2003) is completed. Horvever. based on estimate. the UTG for the project could be as much as l.4l 7.550 therefore the UTG coverage was 77Yo.

The population in over 40% of the project is very highly migratory. comprising of ethnic groups such as Grvaris. Kambaris and nomadic Fulanis. Due to the cultural beliefs and practices of the first two groups. thev migrate annually both rvithin and outside the State in search of virgin (fertile) land for growing cash crops such as yams. gninea corn. maize and millet. while in the case of the nomadic fulanis: theS' migrate in search of water and fresh fodder for their animals. The abore phenomenon is responsible for the highly nucleated and dispersed scttlcment pattern that features in over 60% ofthe \ast land area ofthe project.

5.315 CDDs rvere traincd./retrained. at a rafio of I CDD to 330 population. rvhile l0 SOCT and 664 LGA/PHC workers were trained and retrained on Communitv Self Monitoring as u'ell as for improved record keeping. The achievements represent 93oA. lOf/o and 8f'l

The biggest challenge the project experienced rvithin the year ryas achiering its' ATO of 1.139.606 in the 2l CDTI LGAS. inspitc of lack of State government funding. and late receipl of donor funds. The situation at the LGA level rvas compounded b1, unstable leadership. Frequent change of political leadership. coupled with poor funding was therefore. a major consfiaint to the smooth conduct of CDTI activities at that level. In fact. the last leadership was dissolved during the first week of December 2003. in preparation for election of a permanent LGA council b1.the end of Janua4.. 20M.

Unicef prorided funds (in July) to enablc the SOCT convey McctizanCR, from the State 1i.e. after it u'as received from the Zone C. NOCP Coordinator) to the LGAs. The SOCT supenised the distribution of the drugs to the comrnunities, and ensured that treatment commenced immediatell'. i.e. before their deparrure llom these LGAs. The commitment of most of the LOCT and the frontline health facilitv staffin retraining CDDs and supervision of treatment was nevertheless. a major strength rvhich helped us to ovcrcome the challenge. Thc LOCT in most LGAs utilized their personal funds (for travel) to supenise the activities in the districts and communities.

I . I . l. Description of project

Niger State is geographically located rvithin the middle belt of Nigeria. lt lies betrveen latitude'3 20'

East and longitude 1'l 3' North. It is bordered by Zamfaru State on the North" Kebbi State on the North West. Kogi Statc on thc South. Kwara Statc on thc South West. Kaduna and Fedcral Capital Tcrritorl. of Abuja at the North East and South East respecrively. The State shares a common boundary with the Republic of Benin on the western border i.e. at Babanna district of local government area. The location of the State gives rise to common inter-border trade with it in all directions. see Appendix I.

The topography of the State is highlv undulating. while the land is traversed by several fast florving rirers and streams such as River Niger. Oli. Kaduna. . Gurara and seyeral tributaries that flow into thcm. As a result of the topography of the State. thc rnajor rivers of Niger and Kaduna have been dammed. for production of electriciry', therefore the State houses the largest number of hydro electric power stations in the country. thereby earning itself the title, 'Power State'. There are two prominent hydroelectric porver dams in the State i.e. that of Kainji across River Niger. and . across River Kaduna. Despite its mcso endemicity, thc State is surroundcd by'the hr4oerendemic foci on its' Northeast. Southeast. South and Southwest. These States are Kaduna. the FCT. Kogi and Krvara States respectively.

The vegetation is mainh' of the Guinea sal'anah type with forest mosaic savanah especiallv in the south and south ll'estern parts of the State. The climate is of distinct dry and \r-et season with rainfall ranging befween 1.l00mm in the North and 1.600mm in the south. The wet season ranges fiom

WHO/AIOC. 26 Septernber 2003 l50days or more in thc no(hcrn part to 210 days or more in the southern part. The dry season colnmences in October and the humidity could be as low as l40'betlveen December and February'.

Temperatures rise as much as 90F between March and June. with the lowest minimal temperatues usuallv in Decembcr and Januar"-.

Most of the Onchocerciasis endcmic communities are located within the abundant flood plains of the nvers that trayerse the land. and so the population is mainll' agrarian in over 80% of the area. Among the large etluric groups. the Gwaris'. Kambaris' and nornadic Fulani's have a cultural habit of moving from place to place in search of virgin land for their crops and in the case of the Fulanis for s'ater and lrcsh fodder for their animals. Common cash crops produced by these groups include yams. maize. rnillet and guinea corn. The Nupes' iue one of the major ethnic groups in the State, and they are more stable in settlement. forming very Iargc clustered populations rvho reside w-ithin the marshy alluvial rich valleys rvhich abound in the State. The Nupes grorv rice as both food and cash crop and the1,are also very good fishermen.

While the settlement pattern in 40%o of the State is dcnse and clustered. over 600lo is sparsely populated and highly nucleated with distances of up to 20 kilometers between some communities. Niger is in fact. the largest State in Nigeria, occupying about l2 million hectares of land i.e. about one tenth of the total land area of the country.

The State has a fairly good road network in about 40olo of its' area. however due to its' highll'riverine nature. about 407o of the movement is by water u-sing local tug boats. engine boats and fern' lbr movement of goods. vehicles and humans across the river Niger and neighbouring Kebbi State. Heavy {looding as a result of overllow of dams. is a major threat to fishing communities that reside along the large rivers of the State. and several communities are therefore often either submerged or thel' are displaced during the rainy season.

The administrativc sructure is typical of what obtains all over the country. with a politically elected Executive Gon'ernor at the State capital. and 25 [oca[ administrative councils. headed also bv politicalll' elected LGA Chainnen. There are several traditional institutions headed by Emirs of various hierarchies rvho olersee the districts and communities. The communities are also headed b1' traditional rulers who pay allegiance to the top hierarchy. The State government comprises of three arms i.e. the executive. legislative and judiciary-

The health care delivcry system comprises of three lcvcls i.e. Priman' (Primary Health Care). Secondan' and Tertiary', all of which are quite well interlinked. The PHC system has been put quite

A WHO/AI0C. 26 September 2003 well in place. and is becoming more functional cspcciallv with the presence of a resident German goverrunent assisted PHC development project knou,n as the GTZ (Lafia PHC project). There are over 1.400 health posts/hcalth centrcs in the State out of which about 1.000 eist within the CDTI project area.

GTZ (PHC). local NGOs. CBOs and the benefiting communities themselves.

The partsrershrp between Covernment. donors and thc benehting communities has grown in sEength over the 1'ears: holvever. unfortunatelv. financial input from Goternment (especiallv at State level) has diminished ovcr timc. Political instabiliw at LGA level. caused b1, delal. in election of pcrmancnt got'erning councils. (due to ongoing Local Govemment reforms. and reduced Federal revenue allocation to these LGAS). had a very frustrating effect on CDTI activities. As a matter of fact. the last but one LGA executive council rvas dissolved during the first rveek of December 2003 i.e.. in anticipatiott of elections scheduled to hold at the end of January'. 2004. There has been improved collaboration u-ith UNICEF. especialll, in the last h\o )'ears'. LTNICEF supported the project u,ith US$ 1.1.000 in year 2002 and it was utilized for orientation of local NGOs and CBOs. as well as for training of LGA/PHC staff for facilitation of CSM. The sum of U.S.$12.441 received from UNICEF in year 2003 was utilized for ensuring distribution of Mectizan to end users i.e support of the SOCT and

LOCT in ensuring that Mectizan received by the State was released to the benefiting communities as soon as the drugs arrived the LGAs, and that communities were mobilized for immediate collection of their drugs for distribution to the benef,rciaries. orientation of women groups, as rvell as holding of stakeholders' meetings at LGA level. As a result of this support. 930 local NGOs and CBOs were oriented and mobilized for support and participation in CDTI. 227 LGAIPHC frontline health facilitv staff were trained as facilitators of CSM and SHMs. 650 Stalieholders met. and 700 women group representatives were mobilized for support of CDTI. A total of 1.092.069 people were treated out of an estimated population of 1.687.560 located in 2l CDTI LGAs.

A proposed State level stakeholders' meeting has had to be rescheduled for the first quarter of vear 2004 i.e. rvhen hopefully. the local government elections would have been held. and there is promise of continuitv of governance at that level. UNICEF also participated in planning of actirities and in mobilization of Governnrent at State and LGA level. through paying of 3 advocacv r-isits to State executives and soliciting for counterpart funds. A UNICEF official also visited two CDTI LGAS. during which the LGA executives were mobilized for support. Sel'eral supervisory visits were also made to the benefiting commr.rnities by visiting UNICEF officials and the Zonal Programme Coordinator for NOCP/Zone C. in companv of the SOCT. LOCTs and supenising frontline PHC facilitv stafL UNICEF input was strengthened by the presence of the GTZ (Lafia) PHC project which supported the project with US$5.595 utilized for generation of data which helped to finalize the REMO for the State (in year 2002). GTZ also supported in year 2003 with the sum of U.S.$ 13.386

(t WHO/AK)C. 26 September 2003 rvhich was utilized for training of 103 LGA/PHC stafl. and Health Education/Mobilization of cornrnunities in 3 out of .l newl_v approved CDTI LGAs of Gurara and Aglvara. Communities iu the State capital. were also mobilized for clinic based disnibution of Ivermectin fiom the support received from GTZ.

All of these efforts by donors have greatly helped to boost the morale of both participating government officials as rvell as in improving the qualir-v of CDTI in the State. The improved partnership with LTNICEF might not be unconnected with rescheduling of activitics of its officials and its' identification of a focal officer for Oncho.. in person of Dr. Kenneth Kon'e. at its' National o{fice. The local NGOs and CBOs rvho rvere mobilized are verv much involved in CDTI activities. especially at the communitv level. where they advocated for prograrnme support as rvell as helped. to mobilize their communities for compliance with yearly treatment. Local NGOs and CBOs lolunteered to drstribute Mectizan in several urban centres of the CDTI project area this year. and thel' played a rnajor role. especiallv in newly added LGAs like . Suleja. Gurara and . where. because of constraint on time for communities to make decisions. and the urgent need to commence treatment in those

LGAs. distribution was carried out actively. by CBIT and people uere mobilized to assemble at various treatment points i.e. clinics. r,illage head houses. churches. mosques. toNn squares etc for administration of treatment. The most prominent (active) among the CBOs were. the youth de'r'elopment organizations known as Kungiyan matasa i.e. the age grades. who volunteered to serl'e as CDDs in old treatment LGAS where others dropped out because thev were not motivated b1' their communities. The presence of these CBOs. might account for high retention of CDDs in 60% of the treatment communities. Other active groups are the union of road transport workers who volunteered their vehicles for collection of drugs from district health facilities in old treatment LGAs. The tremendous Technical and Financial support received from APOC, though it arrived the State in Jul1.. and was not approved for utilization until September. did realh, help in the conduct of CDTI activities. APOC funds. though fully received. could unfortunately. not all be utilized because of dilficulties encountered with obtaining UNICEF approral lor expenditures proposed. The changes at UNICEF brought in new personncl at the zonal office who appear not to be familiar with APOC financial procedures. and therefore lend to appll' IjNICEF rules to utilization of APOC funds!

Some locally based international NGOs like the lions club of Borgu i.e. a unit of Rotarv international located at New Bussa. headquarters of Borgu Local Government. and one of the 17 old CDTI LGAs. have even voluntecred to commit frurds in support of the CDTI. More effort will be made to ensurc that such funds are released. In order to er$ure release of funds by' Government as well as availabilitv o[ frurds for yearly CDTI. MectizanCD distributton subcommittees have becn formed within Stalieholders' committees at LGA level. With this. it is hoped that yearlv drug collection and

7 WHO/AK)C. 26 September 2003 distnbution will be well funded. with the hope of ensuring a sustaincd annual drug distribution. for the long time required.

Women participation in CDTI is verv poor. in this Sratc. mainll, duc to cultural and religious attitudes (in most parts of the project area) which secludes women from participating in public actit'ities. In ordcr to create capacitv for mobilization of women goups. there has been good collaboration with the department of rvomen affairs both at State and LGA level. where the focal persons for rvomen affairs at LGA lerel. have becn trained. and in fact. constitute a part of the LOCT. 700 womcn group leaders uere recentlv oriented and mobilized for CDTI in the 2l participating LGAS. There is a proposal to sensitize children and school teachers in the oncoming year.

UNICEF is responsible for clearance of drugs that arrir-e at the Nigerian port and is also responsible for its storage before collection by the NOCP headquarters.

The quantity of MectizanG required by the project is calculated based on 84% of the previous vears' populatioru and this is multiplied by 3. to obtain the accurate requirement. The request is subrnitted to the MDP through the NOCP. The State receives its allocation from the NOCP and releases to the LGfu through the LOCTs. LOCTs release drugs to district health supervisors. while the communities collect from the district health facility' within ttreir locality. In the case of very distant communities. drugs are deposited at the nearest llontline health post/facility for convenience of collection.

The delivery process is as described by the following florv chart.

20 State policv makers wcrc mobilized for awarencss on CDTI. release of State counterpart

funds and for their support, through advocacv for LGA release of funds. Requests u,-ere also made for release of State counter part funds by both NOCP and UNICEF during advocacy

risits to the State. Pledges have been made by Golernment and a memo has already' been submitted in request of US$30.000 for conduct of vear 2004 CDTI acti\.ities. The outcome of the request will be ascertained in year 200.1.

Several advocacy visits were made to all 2l CDTI LGAs by State offrcials and specifically to three LGAs bv TINICEF officials. for creation of alvareness on Onchocerciasis as a public health hazard in those areas. on the availabiliw of Mectizan free of charge. for confiol of the disease. the safetl'of the drug. and the need for Gor,ernment support in funding of the ongoing CDTI. 200 LGA policy makers and 1.300 traditional leaders wcre mobilized for support. From reports received so far, some LGAs released funds. others assisted vr,ith vehicles and fuel and

even participated in communitl mobilization. Some traditional leaders and opinion leaders provided funds for torvn crving and dissemination of messages on cofirmencement of treatment. Several of them supervised distribution too!. This situation was even more

pronounced in the -1 newly added LGAs of Suleja. Gurara. Agwara and Tafa where eyen though PHC Personnel had been trained- and communities had been mobilized for CDTI. treatment had to be conducted activelv bv CBIT because there wasn't much time available for community decision making" purchase of note books. census, selection of CDDs. decision on lreatment time and other CDTI requirements. therefore drugs were distributed at PHC facilities. mosques. church premises. in front of the traditional ruler's residences at ward level. rvithin the various LGAs. The distribution was conducted by CBOs. and local NGOs. The SOCT and LOCT coordinated and supervised the disfibution exercise. in collaboration wrth the traditional leaders. On the whole, the role of traditional leaders in mobilization of the communities for acceptance of treatment was verv encouraging.

17 WHO/APOC. 26 September 2003 Gcnerally spealiing. the LGA policy makcrs (particularll' the directors PHC and supervisorv councils on health) and the communitl' leaders fully participated in planning for the CBIT.

Some community leaders even supported their drug distributors with funds. as incentivcs.

Based on reports received so far. the sum of US$l.708 onlv was relcased br,8 old treatment LGAs. because full reports arc yet to be received on all ftrnds released at that level.

Based on information on hand also. the sum of US$ 492 was released bv communities of 5 old treatment LGAs.

As earlier explained. funding b1'Government at both State and LGA level. has not bcen very' encouraging. The poor release at LGA level lvas quite upsetting. although this situation is attributed to the political instabiliq,at that level. since there was constant change in leadership. As a matter of fact. the last political leadership was replaced early in December. 2003. in preparation for clection of permanent Local Government councils in January'. 2004. In vierv of nloves to establish better accountabilit-v at that level. several reforms are also being put in place. and these developments negatively affected release of funds from Federal revenue allocation to these LGAs. and this did in nrrn take its' toll on the implementation of CDTI at that level.

ln order to overcome these challenges, media publicity would be intensified and radio jingles and local drama would be designcd and developcd for airing and awarcness creation on CDTI. Various stakeholders' meetings were held at 2l LGAs. The State level Stakeholders' meeting earlier scheduled to hold in December has been rescheduled for Februan. 2(X)4 i.e. in order to allow for establishment of Permanent Governing councils at the LGA level, (since the leadership at that level would be major participants at the proposed meeting). Moves are already being made. to get local government administrations to release funds into a central PHC account for yearll' funding of all PHC activities and it is expected that if this proposal passes through, there will be a sustainable source of funding of CDTI activities at that level.

During the LGA level meetings. a total of 650 people of various groups including the intenm leadership met and deliberated on the ongoing CDTI at their various LGAs. Several rcsolutions werc made for improvement. and for ensuring sustainable annual Mectizan delivery. Among the resolutions made were:-

IR WHOiAPOC. 26 Septernber 2003 To establish Mectizan,ln) distribulion committees that lvill ensure timely collection of Mectizan fiom the State and ensure its' adequacl' and avarlabilit-\'to all benefiting communities in the LGfu.

To form pressure goups that rvould prompt Government at Statc and LGA level for annual release of counterpart funds.

To conduct fund rarsing activities at all levels. and to establish Oncho./CDTI accounts at the LGAs.

To better monitor thc commitment of frontline healthcare rvorkers to CDTI.

Before and dunng communitv mobilization and treatment. information was disseminated in some

LGAs using public information vans. Local tovrn criers u'ere also ven' much engaged. church and mosque microphones were employed and information was disseminated at local meetings, ceremonies. during festivities and on market days. Radro announcements rvere also made at some LGAs. These outlets rcallv helped to improve on awareness and coverage cspecially in the l7 old treatment LGAs.

At the communitv level. threat of CDD attrition due to lack of motivation still poses a problem in at least .t07o of communities. The communities are also being mobilized to reduce the burden of CDD workload by selecting more CDDs especially at ward level. The response so far is slou'. but efforts to institutionalize this latter idea was initiated at thc Stalieholders' meetings.

Campaigns were also intensified in religious fanatic areas where people. especially women. were discouraged from accepting treatment because of rumors about the drug being used (in disguise) for birth control.

Megaphones received from APOC and those for polio eradication campaigns were well utilized during comurunity mobilization sessions. especially for reaching rvomen in purdah in areas rvhere religion and culture secludes women indoors. and therefore thev cannot participate in communitv mobilization

During the period of report. the following categories of people werc trained and retrained:

(l) SOCT- -10 $ere trained and retrained on. facilitation of CSM and Stakeholders' meetings (SHMs).

(2)LOCT -124 were trained for facilitation of CSM and SHMs. They rvere also

retrained on record keeping and utilization of the MIS for MectizanG-) This constitutes99Yo of ATrO.

Health -540 district and frontline healthcare workers were trained for centre/ facilitation of CSM and SHM as well as on record keeping using the Post staff MIS. This constitutes 8l% of ATrO.

(3) CDDs -5,315 were reported trained/retrained. and this represents 93olo of ATrO. Thcrc is thrcat of CDD attrition in some LGAs. while there is

l-er1, good CDD retention in most. Communities are also being

rnobilized to select CDDs at ward level. but the response is slou'.

These issues are already being addressed by CSM and SHM. which are alreadv being instiruted in 328 CDTI communities of I7 LGAs.

(1) CSM The total number of trained CSM monitors is not 1'et available since the CSM commenced- only in November. Hou'ever. based on reports received from 12 LGAs the number of selected/ trained CSM monitors is 4.920.

Alailabilitl' of State government funds will be of utmost importance for such issues. othernise. equipment and other rnaterials will be rnaintained rvithin the central pool i.e. within the MOH cenffal ruraintenance budget for offrce and field equipment.

The LGA councils rvill be encouraged to purchase and replace obsolete motorcycles and bicycles from counterpa.rt funds and anv other sources. how-ever. APOC will be requestcd to rcplacc most capital items as the need arises i.e. before the final disengagement of APOC.

- Describe the adequacy of availahle knowledgenble manpower at all levels.

Therc is fairl-v adequate knorvledgeable manpower at State and LGA level: However. lorv literacv at communitv levcl is a major factor in determining number of CDDs selected b1' the communities. because they do not hare rnuch confidence in the capabiliry' of illiterates in administering correct dosage of Mectizan@ to them.

- lAherefrequent transfers af trained staffoccur, state what project is doing or intends to do to remedy the situalion (The most importanl issue is what measures were taken to ensure adeqaate CDTI implementation where not enough knowledgeoble manpower was arwiloble or staff ofien transfened during the course oJ'the campaign).

There is stabilit)' of staff at State level while at LGA level. transfers are often onll' within the LGAs i.e. from disrict to district. Where frequent transfers occur. cfforts are made to train most PHC staff u'ithin the project area. and in an LGA like Borgu where there is irndequacv of PHC staff. school head teachers were trained and incorporated as supervisors. The school head teachers have remained at their postings for over se\.en years since they rvere incorporated in the programme, and they have been participating activelv since then.

2.7. Trratments

Treatment reports received from 2l LGfu are for Mectiizan distribution employrng tuo active strategies:-

- CDTI in l7 old treatment LGAs and CBIT in 4 newly approved and added LGAs of Suleja. Gurara- Agrvara and Tafa.

)9, WHO/APOC. 26 September 2003 CBIT rvas also emplol'ed for distribution of drugs in new communities of old treatment LGAs like - Bosso and Katcha. since there rvas constraint on time to allorv for communitv decision for conduct of CDTI.

A total of 1.092.069 people were treated n 2.193 out of 2.583 commrurities. Thcsc figures represent 657o therapeutic and 857o geographical coverages respectivelr'. The Annual Treatment Objective for the year was 1,143.992 while the estimated Ultimate Treatment Goal was l.-117.550. The cost per trearment was U.S.$0.09.

1007o geographical coverage is not being achio'ed this time around because of addition of 800 treatment communities as a result of REMO finalization and approlal for expansion into 4 additional LGAs as rvell as addition of about 500 new communities in old CDTI implementing LGAS. Not all of the communities could be covered due to constraint on time caused by late treatment. The major reason for late teatment was of lack of government funds and late receipt of donor funds. No funds u'ere ar,ailable until Ju11,. and this consfraint u,as caused b1' reasons explained uithin the earlier sections of this report.

2.7.2 Whal are the causes of absenteeism?

Absenteeism is mainly caused by displacement of some community mcmbers during flood disasters rvhich occurred in seven communities during the rainy season. Others relocate to stay at their farm houses in the rainy seaso[ and do not return early for trcatmelrt. This pheuomenon is mainly caused b1' a lack of communig decision on preferred treatment time. as well as inadequate mobilization of communitv members on the need for them to be available during treatment period. Some members abstain deliberately from the communit_v, in order to escape from being compelled to tahe the drug against their wish. As is the case in more organized communities.

2.8.2. What rvere the main issues identified during supen'ision.

Issues idenrifi ed include:-

- Lack of State counterpart funds and late commencement of CDTI activities.

- Absence of LGA plans of action and very poor LGA funding of CDTI.

- Lack of census update in some communities resulting in inadequate MectizanG..

- Absence of treatment summan, forms in communitl' registers.

- Treatment record not accwately transferred from community notebooks.

- Poor commitment of some of some LGA coordinators and frontline health faciliq- personnel.

- Lack of posters in communities.

- Large numbers of absentees and no mop-up treatment.

?4 WHO/APOC. l0 Apnl2003 - CDDs are often not motivated

- Inadequate CDDs.

- Large number of refusals in Borgu LGA and slow pace of treatment due to erlreme disenchantment of CDDs by community members attitudes.

2.8.3. Was supenison checklist used ?

Yes. The superlision was conducted mainly by the Zonal Oncho. Coordinator for Zone C. who rvas funded by UNICEF. Some supervision was carried out by the SOCT and LOCT.

Most of the supervision rvas b-v the frontline health facilit-v staff.

2.8.4. What were the outcomes at each level of CDTI implementation supervisd'?

State level

- There w'as no counterpart fund from the State Government. therefore activities did not

commence earlv. Treatment would commcnce late and communities l\ere nol given the choice

to decide on fieatmenl time since MectizanLn) had not been collected b1' June due to lack of funds for travel to and from the NOCP headquarters at Lagos for receipt of the drugs.

LGA level

- Lack of plans of action in 50% of LGAs and ven, weali and sometimes. no funding of CDTI in 60% of LGAs visited.

- Lack of census update in several communities resulting in inadequate Mectizan,S) supply.

- Ratio of CDDs to communitv drd not mect criteria of 2 CDDs to 250 people.

- Household heads did not give accurate number of household membcrs to CDDs. which resulted in inaccurate census.

- Several CDDs complained of work overload and poor motivation by their communities.

- The fiontline health faciliry' StaIIwere not supervising CDTI aclivities.

- Absence of treatment summary forms in community registcrs. Some community summarv fomrs rvere in custodv of supen'ising health staff for fear of its' being misplaced or destrol'ed in the communities.

Treatment record not accurately transferred from communitl' register. Figures fomarded to SOCT did not tally u.ith data at communiry' level eg. in Munya LGA.

?5 WHO/AIOC. 26 September 2003 Lack of posters in most of the communities

Large numbers of absentecs and no mop-up trcatmcnt. The drugs supplied was inadequate. and

further request was not honoured

- The number of CDDs topopulatron was in cxccss of l:800 in40Yo of communities. visited. There rvas no community support in tenns of incentives either materiallv or in kind (e.g. through assistance uttlr farm work). thereforc CDDs treated onlv at thcir convenicnce. often at night. and rvent to their farms in the da1'time. Completion of freatment in such communities took up to tuo months. There rvas also no follow-up of absentees or refisals.

Poor commitment of LGA coordinators and fronlline health facility staffof tuo LGAs. Drugs were not released four ueeks after thev had been supplied to the LOCT (Borgu LGA). therefore treatment was flrther delayed. The frontline health facility staff in-charge of the communities. did not inform communiries about arrival of drugs and the need for them to go lbr collection from the distnct health facilities (Shagunu in Borgu LGA) The treatment record

for prerious years w-as not properly kept.

Large numbers of refusals leading to slow pace of treatment in Borgu and Rafi LGA. The CDDs rtere extremelv disenchanted rvith the poor community attrtude. Some CDDS were even clused out of households and threatened with beating if thcl'did not leave immediatell' (Waua. in Borgu LGA).

2.8.5. Wasfeed-back ghen to the supemised, and howwas thefeedback used in improving the overallperformnnce of the project

Yes. feedback was given to the supervised and the feedback rvas used in improling the overall performance of the project in the following manner:-

State level

The issue of need for release of counterpart funds was Presented to State MOH executives like the Director PHC. Permanent Secretary. and Honorable Commissioner of Health. u'ho doubles as deputy Governor of the State, in the presence of Senior Minisul' of health officials and other political heav-v weights at advocacv meetings held w-ith visiting NOCP and TINICEF officials in April and August. The State policv makers noted the problem and pledged to

address the matter in order to ensure that funds are released bv Government. No lilnds rvere

?A WHO/APOC. 26 Scptember 2003 received but a memo was submitted in anticipation of release of the sum of US$ 30.000 for support of vear 2004 CDTI activities.

A State level stalieholders'mceting is scheduled for the Iirst quarter ofyear 2004. and issues

tlreatening the sustainabilitv of the State CDTI rvill be deliberated on.

LGA lel'el

The supervising SOCT were directed to guide the respective LOCT on writing of plans of action (rvith budgets) rvhich rvere to be submitted to the LGA authorities in request of funds.

The written action plans were submitted as supporting document to a lefter of request from the State MOH. for release of the sun of approximatelv US$784 per LGA.

A State review meeting was held in September and all LOCT leaders from l7 old treatment

LGAs lvere informed of this obsenation. Thev were then directed to go back to ensure that the census was updated during Mectizan(D distribution. Follow-up monitoring of the above indicated that the census had been updated in over 507o of communities. Additional Mectizan uas then released to those requiring it for mop-up of treatment.

ln order to boost capacity for drug distribution at a ratio of I CDD to 250 population.

communities were remobilized and advised to appoint additional CDDs at rvard level. There is eridence of good compliance with the recommendation because thc present ratio of CDD to population is I to 330. Communities were also mobilized to support their CDDs in order to motivate them for long-term service. The achievement made in this regard is however hard to quanti$' because thc LOCT hardlv give fcedback on CDd rcmureration. Howcvcr. timelv feedback was received for treatment inTOYoof LGAs.

The poor commitment of the participating LOCTs and health faciliqv personnel was also

addressed at LGA level advocacy meetings' held at the LGA headquarters and also at

stakeholders meetings held in all 2l LGAs. The PHC staff were reprimanded by both the traditional leaders and the LGA policl' makers. Thev have been advised to show more commitment otherwise. their salaries *'ould be u.ithheld. and they in return. have pledged to improve on their performance. The situation at Borgu and Lavun LGAS. rvho have completed 4 vears of CDTI is of particular concern because no trealment reports were received from these LGAs up to the time of submission of thrs report!

?7 WHO/APOC. 26 Septernber 2003 The impact of the actions talien to correct these anomalies can only be assessed in year 2004. because the above mentioned actions rvere tahen only during the last hr o months of year 2003. As a matter of fact. the stakeholders' meetings held only in December. i.e. at the end of the vears' treatment.

The large numbers of refusals in Borgu LGA rvas said to be caused b1' defractors rvho rvere Islamic fanatics. These people. misinfornred their communities that the drug had a ver]' negative effect on their health. and accused America of attempting to reduce Muslint populations rvhile camouflaging the drug as being for river blindness control. The issues rvere tabled and thoroughll' addressed also at the LGA level Stake holders' meetings. The traditional leaders pronrised to go back and correct these erroneous impressions circulating in their communities.

The supervising LGA/PHC personnel were once more advised to produce duplicate copies of community summary forms and always to leave behind one cop], in the communitr' registers while keeping the other. He was directed to advised the CDDs and village heads to ensure the safetl' and security of all MectizanG) treatment records. by keeping such record in a safe place. especially in custody of the village head.

SOCT and LOCT were trained and retrained on record keeping and transfer of data into MIS.

Thc data received this year was yery much improved. The LGA Coordinator for Munva has however not adjusted. and plans are on ground to reorganize the LOCT in that LGA because of this problem and several other administrative problems affecting the programme in that LGA.

Il'there are problems wilh release o/-counterpart funds. how were thel' addressed?

There are problems with release of State counterpart funds and several memos were written to government as reminder. Several advocacy risits were paid by both the NOTF and UNICEF officials during which they solicited for government release of counterpart funds at both State and LGA level. Funds were not released at State level. while US$1.708 was released by 8 old treatment LGAs. Stalieholders meetings were held in all 2l LGAs where the issue uas discussed- and plans are on ground for fund raising.

The State level meeting rvill hold in February 2004 where the issue of "lack of government funding as

a threat to sustainabilitl' of CDTI" u'ill be the theme for discussion. Further more. pressure groups are being identified through stalieholders' meetings (at all levels) to prompt government to release the required funds.

The unusually high expendirure on training was due to training of LOCTs on CSIWSHM as well

as training for CDTI in the 4 nervly added LGAs of Suleja- Gurara. Tafa and Agwara.

Dacribe how the results of the communigt self- montloring and stakeholders meetings have affected project implementation or how they would be utilized during the nert fieatmcnt cycle.

CSM and SHM at communitv level commenced only in November and is still ongoing. therefore the results are not yet available. However. it is obvious from LGA level Stalieholders' meetings held in 2l LGAS. that there rvill be improved funding at all levels. and that the commitment of policy makers to CDTI would improve due to formation of Oncho. Control committees at that level.

4) M{O/APOC. 26 September 2003 The mecting also noted that some frontline health care staflassigred to supervision of CDTI did not shorv much commitment. and therefore promised to inform the LGA authorities about any of such developments.

AA WHO/AR)C. 26 September 2003 4.3. Sustainability of prcjects: plan and set targets (mandatorl' at Yr 3)

1.3.I l{hat arrangemetfis have been made to sustain CDT'I a.fter APO(- .fimdmg ceases m terms o.f:-

-+.3.1 Planning at all relevant lerels. State and LGA plans will be made and realistic budgets will be tied to activiries clearly indicating sourcc offunds

4.3.2 Funds. State and LGAs are working in collaboration with UNICEF to make Gorernment to

release funds based on amual PHC budgets. The outcome of Stakeholders' meetings indicate that pressure groups are being formed and these goups designated as Oncho. Control

committees would ensure that government releases funds for CDTI activities. There are plans

also for fund raising at all levels. The tradrtional leaders also pledged to see to selection of more CDDs especiallv at ward level. to mobilize their people for motivation of the CDDs tluough inceutives and to advocate for female participation in the CDTI.

-1.3.3 Transport (replacement and maintenance) will be done centrally in MOH. i.e. if

counterpart funds are not available. The LGA coordinators have been personallv responsible

for maintenance of project motorcycles attached to them and will continue. since this is the usual practice over here. LGA administrators u'ill be encouraged to purchase motorcycles and bicycles for the programme whenever the need arises. At State level. efforts rvill be made to ensure full integration of the CDTI into viable projects like AIDS control. NPI. etc. so that there would be central maintenance of all participating PHC vehiclcs i.e including the CDTI project vehicle.

APOC management will however. be requested to replace several capital equipment i.e. before the final disengagement of APOC.

4.3.4 Aher resources- Funds raised through State and LGA level fund raising activities

J.3.5 Please provide a wrifren plan with set targets and achicvementsfor sofar. The project is yet to be evaluated for sustainability, however the plan of action for I'ear 2003, show.ing the implementation status of the activities is herebl'attached. The plan of action for year 2004- together rvith I "t I'ear (2005) post-APOC sustarnability plan are also attached to this report.

1.3.6 To what extent has the pbn been implemented

The plan action for year 2003 rvas largely implemented. i.e. upto 9OV",and effort u,ill be made to integrate the post-APOC sustainabilitl' plan u'ith the 1'ear five plan of action.

44 WHO/APOC" 26 September 2003 4.4. Integration

Outline the efient of ilrtegrution of CDTI into the PHC structure and the plansfor conqtlete integrafion

J.1. l. Ivermectin delh,ery mechanisms

Ivermectin is received and delivered through the existing PHC structure of the threc tiers of Government. Communities collect Mectizan'I-) from district health supenisors. While in hard to reach areas. from the frontline healthcare staff. The period of the NIDs is often suitable for drug dclivery. because the LGA/PHC staff are often invited to the State and LGA headquarters for

collection of vaccines. Mectizan@ is included among the items for delivcr_l'to the communities.

1.1.2. Training

LGA/PHC Personnel have been trained as TOTs. They are directly responsible for communitv mobilization and training/retraining of CDDs. Thc LGA Monitoring/Evaluation officers rvho serve as disease sun'eillance ofllcials are members of the LOCT and do collect Mectizanir. from the State to the LGAs

1.J.3. Joint supenision and monitoring with other programs

At the State level. plans for integration of supenision and monitoring uith other programmes are on ground. LGA M&E officers are members of the LOCT. thereforc thel' w'ill integrate supervision of ongoing AFP sun'eillance rvith supervision of CDTI.

1.1.1. Release offands

Alreadv there is a budget for Oncho. within the PHC budget. and plans are on ground to prompt Gort. for joint release of funds under the PHC l,ote of charge.

1.1.5. Is CDTI included in the PHC budgd? yes.

1.1.6. Dacrihe other health programmes that are using the CDTI structure and how this was achieved l{hal have been the achievements?

Not vet. Horvever there are plans to integate distribution of ITNs for RBM into CDTI Vitamin A distribution is another programme being considered for utilizing the CDTI structure.

SECTION 5: Strengths. weaknesses and challenses

List the strengths and weaknesses of CDTI implementation process

Strensths l. Ven' committedLOCTs in7tr/o ofLGAs.

2. Good communitv participahon and orvnership of CDTI.

3. Fairly good CDD retentiou in 6tr/o of communities.

4. Improved participation of LINICEF

5. Fairll' good integration of CDTI into PHC at all levels. especially NPI programme (CBOs oriented and mobilized for participation)

6. Finalized and approved REMO. This will enable us to determine UTG by March 2004 when census update would have been completed.

7. Availabilig of 227 trained LGA/PHC stafffor facilitation ongoing application of CSM/SHM to329 CDTI communities of 17 LGAs.

46 WHO/APOC. 26 September 2003 Weaknesses

I . Poor political rvill of governments. as eridenced by non releasc of counterpart funds at State level. and poor release at LGA lelel.

2. Inadequate CDDs. The available ones are hardlr" motivated to continue. due to lack of communitv support and poor female participation. 3. Inadequate Vehicles (4W.D. Vehicle. 20 motorcycles and 100 bicycles additional required) for travel over vast project are i.e. 65million hectares.

4. Poor effort at integration rvith PHC by somc LGA Oncho. Coordinators. resulting in poor supervision in such LGAs

6. Late feedback on treatment in some LGAs.

Constraints l. Lack of State counterpart funds and poor release at LGA level.

2. Late receipt of donor funds resulting in late commencement of CDTI coupled with pressure on LOCT and SOCT to meet up with annual objectives.

3. Large expanse of land for CDTI (6.5.million hectares) and inadequate vehicles for supenision especiallv in Borgu. Manga. Magama. Rijau. Katcha. Rafi. Agwara and Mashegu LGAs.

't. Late supplv of Mectizan. The complete quantity of drug requested was not received until September.2003.

5. Flood disasters in some LGAs leading to displaced communities

6. Inappropriate treatment time leading to delay in treatment b1' some communities. Therefore treatment was carried out only at night.

7. Delayed complelion of treatment and threat of CDD altrition in some communities. due to CDD disenchantment as a result of poor motivation b1' some commurities.

Lis the challenges and indicate hmt they were addressed.

Challenses

l. Updating of census for determination of Ultimate Treatment Goal (UTC;. Leners were rwitten to LGAs where REMO was updated and thel were guided on areas for CDTI. The list of additional communities. rvas compiled and most communities were mobilize{ for thp CDTI.

47 WHO/AI'ICC. 26 September 2003 Census is already ongoing in several communities. rvhile UNICEF plans to fund a State wide

celNus update earlf in 1'ear 2004.

2. Attaining at least 650/o of llltimate Treatment Goal. MectizanL0 distribution commenced earlier (i.e. in August) unlike in previous vears. hor.vever. the drugs supplied then covered onh' 9 LGAs. A Second consignment was not received until September. however all 17 LGAs had Mectizan3 in their custodv for at least three months.

Mass distribution of Mectizan([] was also conducted in the 4 nervlv added LGAs and rvith

these efforts. 85% geographical corerage was achieved in the project area and the therapeutic

covcrage is 65Yo rvhile the UTG coverage was 77o/o.

3. Full integration of CDTI with PHC programmes like disease sun'cillance. M&E at Statc. LGA District and Communitl level. - The meetings for AFP sun'eillance rvere attended bv the SOCT and through that. M&E staff who are the participants were mobilized for beffer participation in CDTI activities.

3. Mobilizing Government at State and LGA level for timell, release of funds for conduct of CDTI. - Earlier efforts. as described within the report did not viel much result. The stalieholders' meetings' appear to old better promise for ensuring release of government frurds

since pressure groups rvill be formed rvithin these committees.

4. Mobilizing communities for support of CDDs/ increasing number of CDDS through prompting of communities to select CDDs at r.vard level. Communities lr,ere mobilized and urged to motivate their CDDs through either provision of incentives or to reduce CDD

workload tluough selection of addrtional CDDs i.e at rvard level. Several communities chose option trvo. rvhile others chose both options.

5. Inclusion of females as CDDs. Onentation meetings were held with 700 representatil'es of r-arious lvomen groups. Because the actilitl'held only in December. the impact could not be

assessed during the period of report and would only be detemrined in the subsequent year. i.e. in terms of improved participation in CDTI and motivation of CDDs. There is houever. great promise for improved female participation in the CDTI.

dR WHO/AIOC. 26 Septernber 2003 (r. Ensuring good treatment compliance (at least 75%) with reduction in absentees and refusals. -

In 50% of LGAs i.e. where treatment commenced early. there was adequate time for ensuring

compliance and mop-up.

7. Prompting LGA/PHC personnel for early fccdback on CDTI. Treatment commenced earlier i.e in August in 50Yo of LGAs. and this helped to ensure early feedback on treatment. Unfortunately. drugs for the other 50% of LGAs was received late i.e. rn September.

8. Poor attitude of some LGA coordrnators towards integration with PHC. - Efforts were made through visits to the LGfu. meetings were held with the LGA health team witlt DPHCs presiding over the meetings. Supervision schedules for LOCTs and frontline PHC stalf were drawn and shared uith SOCTs and the LGA teams. A State revicq-meeting rvas held rvith the aim of further addressing the issues. The poor attitude of some PHC pcrsonnel to integration u'as also addressed at stakeholders' meetings.
