Description

To Address Challenges and Gaps, Rti's Sustain Team Has Designed a Capacity Strengthening for Sustainability Approach for Cep-NTD Element 2. Through Seven Implementation Strategies, Sustain Will Support Countries to Accelerate Progress Now; Address Barriers with Innovation; Document and Share Successes; Identify Long-Term Control Platforms; and Strengthen Local Capacity for Planning, Budgeting, and Delivery So That NTD Programs Can Continue with High Levels of Effectiveness. Sustain Experts and Country Teams Will Tailor This Capacity Strengthening Approach and Strategies Through Regular Communication with Usaid's NTD Staff and Ministries of Health (Mohs). Data and Context Will Be Increasingly Important at the Country Level as Elimination Approaches; Coverage Challenges in the Last Endemic Areas Are Unique, Requiring Innovative Strategies Based on Accurate Data in a Specific Context.
