COVID-19 UPDATE
Effects on NTD Programs
- All activities have been directed towards COVID 19 case search and surveillance
- NTD activities are impacted with all activities cancelled. It is uncertain what the next line of action will be regarding lock down
General effects
Ghana is on partial lock down with most cases of COVID 19 in the nation’s capital and other big cities.

Forecast for
These forecasts outline PC interventions and M&E activities expected from 2021 to 2030, to support fulfilment of the goals established by the NTD Roadmap 2021-2030. They have been generated from data submitted by Member States through the annual Joint Application Package.
Annual PC projections are based on the current reported endemicity, the number of rounds already conducted up until 2019, and the results of recent impact evaluation surveys. Calculations assume that all future PC rounds will be delivered as scheduled and will achieve effective coverage targets, and that future impact assessments will show reduction in prevalence below target thresholds.
