SCH and STH Survey Basic Protocol Compliance Checklist (EN & FR)

Purpose

This checklist helps NTD Programs submitting survey proposals to ESPEN to ensure compliance with applicable WHO guidelines, to ensure proposals meet minimum requirements. The Checklist helps to ensure completeness of the proposal before submission to ESPEN for technical review. While submitting survey proposals to ESPEN is not mandatory, NTD Programs are encouraged to use this tool to ensure compliance with WHO guidelines. Further, it is mandatory to submit a survey proposal to ESPEN when technical or financial support is needed from WHO, and when ESPEN-Collect support is needed. Such survey proposals will also be submitted to WHO-AFRO ERC for WHO ethical clearance. This is a working tool for use by countries and will be available on ESPEN Portal.
