Most of the Oncho endemic LGAs lie along these rivers. There are 13 CDTI LGAs with an endemic population of 609,911 out of which 517,28g are eligible persons. Mass distribution with Ivermectin started in the state in 1991 with the assistance of LINICEF. Proposal for the implementation of CDTI in the state was approved in

December, 1999. Funds were received in March, 2000 and the financial cycle

was revised to start in March 2000 to February 2001. Even though the second financial year was supposed to start in March 2001, funds were not received until September,2001. Currently the 13 hyper/lVleso LGAs implementing CDTI are , Ningi, , , Dass, T/Balewa, Datazo, Shira, Toro, Zaki, , Itas/Gadau and Jama'are. Treatment started with 140 communities in 1991. In 1999 when CDTI was introduced the number of communities undergoing treatment rose to 633. SECTION 2 YEAR TWO TMPLEMENTATION OF CDTI

Mobilization was carried out in all the 633 communities and a total of 1188 religious and community leaders were mobilized.

Qut come of thp mohili?atio.n . The communities not only selected their CDDs but also tried to fulfill most of the responsibilities expected of them. . Although only 84 communities supported their CDDs, the rest of the

communities are now willing to support their CDDs in cash or in kind. Mediq usqd for the mqbilization For every programme conducted by the unit is being aired through the State Radio and Television and the National Television Authourity in the State. Moreover a television phone - in programme was conducted on Oncho Day this Year at the State Television (BATV). The mobilization team consists of members of the State Oncho team, the information officer of the State Ministry of Health, representatives of BATV ( Television), BRC (Bauchi Radio Cooperation), NTA (Nigeria n Television Authority) and} staff front NOCP ZonalOffice representing IINICEF. The result of the mobilization is encouraging as there is an increase in the level of awareness of the control effort in all the endemic and non endemic communities to the extent that 7 non CDTI/ hypo endemic LGAs are requesting for inclusion into the CDTI progralnme.

BACKGROUND

Bauchi State project is located in the North-East of Nigerian. There are 20 local Govemment Ares in the State. The State shares boundaries *ith plateau, Kano, Jigawa, Yobe, Borno, Taraba and Gombe States.

The State lies in the Savannah region of Nigeria, with variation in ecological conditions with the southern and western parts being sudan or guinea Savannah, having a relatively higher rainfall, the northern part of the State is sahel Savannah with flat lands and fewer hills. Some major rivers traverse the State. These include the river Hadeja, Jama,are, Gongola and Dindima. Most of the endemic local government areas lies alongthese river systems. The State has two distinct seasons', dry and rain seasons. There are six months of rain, beginning in May and ending in October. The farming season is from May to December.

Most of the onchocerciasis endemic communities are not accessible all year round; the dirt and laterite roads to these communities are usually not motor-able during the height of the rainy season. Even in dry season, where the roads are sandy, four-iheel drive vehicles may be required in some instances along with motorcycles and bicycles.

The_ settlement pattern varies in different part of the State. Generally, there is a pattem of nuclear settlements, with surrounding farmlands. In some areas there is dispersed settlement and in others a combination of nuclear and dispersed settlement is found.

There are numerous ethnic groups in the CDTI LGAs, namely the Hausa Fulani, Jarawa, Sayawa, Kanwi Pa'awa and other minority nibes. The majority of the indigenous population are farmers.

There are 13 CDTI LGAs with an endemic population of 964,138 persons. The LGAs are Ningi, wadi, Darazo, Alkaleri, Kirfi, Dass, Tafawa Balewa, ioro, Shira, , , Zaki afi' Gamawa. However, the results of the registration update are provisional and awaiting validation.

The proposal for the implementation of CDTI in the State was approved in December 1999- Funds were received in March 2000 and the financial cycle-was revised to start from March 2000 to February 2001.

The number of Hyper endemic communities before CDTI was 140 while there are 225 meso endemic communities. With the implementation of CDTI the number of endemic communities are: -

Total - 623 communities. The State has been carrying out treatment under CBTI since 1991.

DEFINITION

A community is a group of people living together having the same culture and tradition while a village is an administrative area headed by a village head comprising of about 15 to 40 communities each of which has a population of about 500 to 1000 peop-le. SECTION TI4/O

Annual training objective was to train 39 LOCTs of which 26 (67%) were trained and 2336CDDS of which 2132 (91%) were rained.

The materials used for the haining are Brochures, flipcharts, measuring sticks, posters and registration log books.

The {' proportion of absenteeism is not higher than expected.

* The most common reason for absenteeism is migration especially for cattle rearers.

* The action that needs to.be taken by the project to reach absentees is to carry out treafrnent before perennial migrations especially for cattle- rearers or nomads. SECTION FOUR

Strengths ofthe project are: -

1. Remote areas are reached with more CDDs 2. Recording system is improving 3. Increased supervision 4. Awareness at community level is improving 5. Policy makers in some LGAs are supporting the programme. 6. State government has supported by giving itr funds to the tune of N3million which "o""tripart was used for the production of calendars, T - shirts, and for holding advocacy workshops. 7. Full support and direct supervision by NOCp 8. Availability of logistics

Weaknesses/Constraints of the project are: -

1. Not all communities accept the ownership of the project cDDs ?. are expecting incentive and employment tom tne project. 3. Some communities are not supportingtleir CpOs Political 4' interference in the selection of CDDs and mectizan distribution l. Inadequate support by some policy makers 9. Low literacy level within thaprojict area 7. Inadequate support by assisting NGDO

Future Plans: -

l. Intensive advocacy and mobilizationat all level 2. Intensive training at all levels

Support needed from Government: -

1. frompt and regular release of counterpart fund 2. Support for oncho staffto carry out their duties effectively

Support from APOC l. Advocacy visit to the State policy makers 2. Prompt release of funds EXECUTIYE SUMMARY

Bauchi State project is located in the North-East of Nigerian. There are 20 local Govemment Ares in the State.

The southern and western parts being sudan or guinea Savannah, having a relatively higher rainfall. The northern part of the State is sahel Savannah with flat lands and fewer hills. Some major rivers traverse the State. These include the river Hadeja, Jama'are, Gongola and Dindima. Most of the endemic local govemment areas are situated along these river systems.

The State has two distinct seasons, dry and rainy seasons. There are six months of rain, beginning in May and ending in October.

The settlement pattern varies in different parts of the State. There are some nucleated settlements, with surrounding farmlands while in some areas there are dispersed settlements. In others a combination of nuclear and dispersed settlement is found.

The proposal for the implementation of CDTI in the State was approved in December 1999. Funds were received in March 2000 and the financial cycle was revised to start from March 2000 to February 2001

There are 13 CDTI LGAs viz. Tafawa Balewa, Toro, Darazo, Misau, Zaki, shira, Ganjuwa, Alkaleri, Warji, Ningi, Dass, Kirfi and Gamawa. Most of the communities in these LGAs are not accessible all year round.

The State has an endemic population of 964,138 persons living in 221 hlper endemic communities and 402 meso endemic communities.

The training conducted so far are the training of 26 LoCTs (67%) and, 2,132 CDDS trained.

So far, 571 communities have been mobilized and received health education on extended treatnrent. 62 advocacy visit to LGAs Directors of Health. The State has teated 379,723 eligible persons (40Yo coverage). The project has been able to reach remote areas with selection of more CDDs and increased supervision. There is full support from NOCP officials.

Initially the project experienced late approval and release of funds from the State level, but with the change of signatories (the Permanent Secretary is now one of the principal signatories) there is no further delay for approval. The challenges/?lan of the project are to carryout intensive mobilization and intensive training at all levels.
