20' Ihe Forut.u acknorvledged that the development of a macrofilaricide rernarned a high priorrty. The del'eloptnetlt of the use of moxtdectin for onchocercrasis has been suspended iue to a saf'ety collcenl $'ith otle of the veterittariau products containing moxidectrn. Furrher developmepl u rll be pursued tf the cottcems arc cleared (at the US FDA heanng on 3l January 2005).

24.In conclusion, the Forum notecl that:

r. GDTI $'as sustarnable at the conlnuuity but rveak at the FLHF leyel;

ll. there u'as a need to contiuue ntourtoring the inrplementation of sustainabilitl,plals especially during the post-ApOC era;

to euhauce iir' the sustainability of CDTI projects, it rvas ir-nportaut to streugtSen the lealtlr systents and enrpou'er the FLHF;

ir'. includrng oncltocerctasis in the esseutral health package would ellsure sustaipable govemtnetlt financial contrtbutton and could be a step torvards strengthening the FLFIIT rn the health systetr.
