Event Overview
Ndau Island, Kenya
The Lymphatic Filariasis Dossier Development Webinar: Lessons Learned will bring together national programme managers, technical partners, and global experts to share practical insights on preparing national dossiers for the validation of elimination of lymphatic filariasis (LF) as a public health problem.
As several countries in the WHO African Region approach elimination milestones, understanding the WHO validation criteria and the dossier preparation process has become increasingly important. Preparing a comprehensive elimination dossier requires strong data management, clear documentation of programme implementation, and alignment with WHO standards for validation.
This webinar will provide a platform to review the WHO validation process and showcase country experiences in dossier development. Presentations will be delivered by WHO experts and country programmes that have successfully achieved validation or are currently preparing their dossiers, allowing participants to learn from real-world experiences and practical challenges.
