Strengthening immunization planning through data and collaboration 🤝📊

Akros and CIDRZ teams joined the District Nursing Officer (DNO) and Chainda Rural Health Centre staff to review how GIS maps and the Digital Microplanning Dashboard are being used to guide immunization efforts.

Teams also supported health facility staff in setting up and completing vaccination site forms on mobile devices linked to GIS mapping, helping streamline data collection and improve accuracy in real time.

Together, they reviewed the vaccination dashboard to assess performance and evaluated how digital GIS tools are being implemented to monitor coverage and site effectiveness.

Empowering frontline health workers with the right tools is key to reaching every community. 🌍💙

Mass drug administration sounds simple on paper.

In reality:
• Seasonal migration
• Artisanal gold mining sites
• Poor road infrastructure
• Intermittent connectivity
• Small, dispersed hamlets

These factors kept treatment coverage low in Mali’s KA05 transmission zone for years.

Phase 2 combined:
🗺️ Detailed geospatial microplanning
📱 Offline-capable digital tools
🔍 Real-time supervision dashboards
🔋 Power banks for field autonomy
🤝 Strong coordination between data collectors & drug distributors

The result:
📍 100% of hamlets visited
📈 95.1% household treatment coverage
👥 Significant gains toward the ≥80% population coverage required for elimination
Reaching elimination requires reaching everyone — no matter how remote.

When we talk about coverage in NTD programs, precision matters.

The global standard for onchocerciasis elimination is:

➡️ ≥80% population coverage (of eligible individuals)
➡️ 100% geographic coverage (all endemic communities reached)

In Mali’s KA05 zone, Reveal-supported microplanning strengthened reach at the household level — ensuring distributors physically reached structures that had historically been missed.

From 38.4% to 95.1% household treatment coverage in one year.
30,099 individuals treated in 2025.

Reaching households is how you ensure population coverage targets are truly met — especially in remote, mobile, and underserved communities.
