Project to support, through TA and training, efforts by the Ghanaian Ministry of Health (MOH) to contain the present yellow fever epidemic and arrest the precipitous increase of yaws. The MOH will conduct immunization and treatment/prohylaxis programs for, respectively, yellow fever and yaws. Under the project, some 2.3 million children under the age of 15 will receive treatment and/or prophylaxis for yaws, thus reducing the incidence of the disease to less than 0.1% of the population. Also, at least 4 million children and adults will be immunized against yellow fever in hopes of eliminating future epidemics of the disease. Up to 24 person-months of TA will be provided to strengthen the capacity of the MOH to implement the above programs. The TA will help to: (1) train technical staff; (2) establish a village-based health surveillance system; (3) prepare and update a plan of work, to include such items as village visitation schedules, estimates of the number of persons to be vaccinated, vaccine usage rates, and budget projections; (4) conduct workshops as needed; and (5) coordinate control activities with surrounding countries. A.I.D. will also provide short-term overseas train

Scope: country: Ghana. A sub-project of a regional award; its documents name one country. Medium confidence.
How sure we are: 0.75.
When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from design document year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
