Understanding the best uses of the Supervisor's Coverage Tool (SCT) for monitoring school-based distributions
- To use the Supervisor's Coverage Tool (SCT) to monitor school-based deworming;
- To determine the feasibility of utilizing the Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) methodology in a school-based SCT; and
- To apply a checklist in schools to elicit information about the performance of the MDA.
Understanding the best uses of the Supervisor's Coverage Tool for monitoring school-based distributions

Feasibility, acceptability and cost implications of utilizing the SD BIOLINE Onchocerciasis IgG4 rapid test for onchocerciasis surveillance activities in Senegal
The demonstration study of the SD BIOLINE Onchocerciasis IgG4 rapid test aims to provide operational research data on the use and implementation of the test. The performance of the SD BIOLINE Onchocerciasis IgG4 rapid test has been verified in both reference laboratories as well as in controlled field settings. PATH and partners will explore the feasibility of incorporating the test into multiple sites in sub-Saharan Africa, with Senegal as a pilot country.
We aim to demonstrate the acceptability and feasibility of the SD BIOLINE Onchocerciasis IgG4 test in the Senegal Onchocerciasis Control Programme surveillance activities relative to the diagnostic and collection tools currently used.
