DANJEBU STATE PROJECT COORDINATOR SUBMITTED TO APOC MARCH 2OO3 r/,d, .4q. 03.CrJ ,' ..I "lC-r r { \I" ( t; EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Bauchi State is located in the north eastern part of the country. It has a population of 2,826,444based on the 1991 census and is made up, of 20 LGAs. There are 13 CDTI LGAs with an endemic population of 609,911. Mass distribution with Ivermectin started in the state in l99l with the assistance of I-INICEF. Proposal for the implementation of CDTI in the state was approved in December,1999. Treatment started with 140 communities in 1991. In 1999 when CDTI was introduced the number of communities undergoing treatment rose to 633. In the year under review 633 communities selected their CDDs and most collected drugs and decided on their method/period of treatment. Due to non - receipt of APOC funds and inadequate financial support from the Government, only 26 LOCTs and 540 CDDs were trained thus achieving about40yo training achievement for both categories. Mobilization was carried out in all 13 Oncho endemic LGAs. 519,193 persons in 633 endemic communities in the 13 CDTI LGAs were treated using 1,621,925 Mectrzantablets. These give a 100% geographical coverage and85%o therapeutic coverage. I-INICEF provided N634, 000.00 while the State gave a counterpart contribution of N137,000.00 during the reporting period. Strengths of the prograrnme include increase in number of communities supporting their CDDs, high level of commitment of SOCTs and LOCTs, support in the CDTI by the Zonal Office and increasing involvement of communities process. The weaknesses and constraints facing the project are lack of updated release population figures, inadequate financial support by Government and non - of funds bY APOC for the entire Year' BACKGROUND BauchiStateislocatedinthenortheastofNigeria.KanoandJigawastates Yobe states, Kaduna to the west bounded it to the north, to the east Gombe and and Taraba and Plateau to the south' 1991 census and is made up' It has a population of 2,826,444based on the River Hadeja, of Z1LGAs.
