PIP, RMRI will revise the household survey protocol with technical inputs<br />
from WHO and the World Bank for project areas by July 2008. The survey<br />
will provide a reliable baseline data for the project indicators on health<br />
seeking behavior, IRS coverage and Kala-azar prevalence desegregated by<br />
gender, age and social group. It would provide information on the<br />
coverages achieved in diagnosis and complete treatment of Kala-azar. The<br />
base-line survey covering a representative sample of districts included in FY<br />
2008-09 will be undertaken during September-October 2008. A repeat<br />
survey will be carried out during the same period in 2009 covering the 50%<br />
earlier and 50% new districts. For kala-azar, the survey will provide<br />
statistically valid data to show 50% or more reduction in the number of<br />
kala-azar cases in a community block.<br />
