1. Impact
Objective
To reduce the annual incidence of kala-azar
and PKDL to less than one per 10 000 population at district (or sub-district)
level by the end of 2015 by:
 reducing
kala-azar, including in the vulnerable, poor and unreached populations in endemic areas;
reducing
case-fatality rates from kala-azar;
reducing
cases of PKDL to interrupt transmission of kala-azar,
and
preventing
the emergence of kala-azar/HIV/TB co-infections in endemic
areas.
2. Process
Objectives
To
improve the effectiveness of programme management
with a focus on policy, planning and regulation;
To
enhance capacity-building at all levels in kala-azar-endemic
districts;
To
establish effective disease and vector surveillance system for planning
and response supported by reliable laboratory diagnosis;
To
ensure early diagnosis and complete case management of kala-azar;
To
undertake disease prevention and control by integrated vector management
(IVM) through selective stratified indoor residual spray (IRS), insecticide
treated nets (ITN) and environmental management with community participation
and intersectoral collaboration, and
To
conduct operational research on important elements of elimination
activities.
