For Kala-azar elimination<br />
(a) Strengthening of HMIS for tracking the progress of kala-azar elimination<br />
and key operational indicators;<br />
(b) Case detection and line listing of patients;<br />
(c) Decentralized assessment to validate the outcomes at district, CHC and<br />
PHC levels through LQAS and surveys (2010 and 2013);<br />
(d) Logistic management information system for supply chain management;<br />
(e) System to monitor the quality of ‘rk39’, and first line medicines.<br />
Additional activities closely related to M&E, though not strictly a part of the<br />
M&E system are:<br />
Monitoring of parasite resistance to antimalarial medicines, in particular<br />
the first-line ACT (artesunate plus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine), anti kalaazar<br />
medicines (especially new medicines), and vector resistance to<br />
insecticides;<br />
Pharmaco-vigilance focusing on the first-line ACT and first line medicines<br />
for treatment of kala-azar ;<br />
Operational research and impact evaluation;<br />
Periodic Technical Program Reviews for malaria control and kala-azar<br />
elimination by <strong>NVBDCP</strong>, and the World Bank with the help from WHO, the<br />
and other international organization.<br />
In the above list, activities (a)-(c) will be the main responsibility of malaria<br />
technical supervisors (MTS) and kala-azar technical supervisors (KTS), who will<br />
be science graduates recruited and trained for this work and employed on a<br />
contractual basis. Depending on the population size, there will be 5-6 MTS/KTS<br />
per district. These supervisors will also be trained to support activities (d) and<br />
(e). Additional activities will be done with the help of institutions under the<br />
Department of Health Research, especially <strong>National</strong> Institute for Malaria<br />
Research (NIMR), Delhi for malaria and Rajendra Memorial Research Institute<br />
(RMRI), Patna for kala-azar.<br />
As most of the malaria high-burden districts in the country are financially<br />
supported through grant–in–aid either GFATM or the World Bank (retroactive<br />
financing), it has been envisaged that both GFATM and World Bank will work in<br />
coherence for development of new M&E systems.T he mechanisms will be fully<br />
harmonized in the districts concerned and will gradually, based on lessons<br />
learnt, and with due consideration of different needs in districts with lower<br />
endemicity, be adopted nationwide in malaria control. For example, MTSs will<br />
have the same training and responsibilities across Global Fund and World Bank<br />
supported districts. The kala-azar elimination initiatives however will be limited<br />
to GoI and World Bank support in the endemic districts for kala-azar.<br />
(a) Strengthening of HMIS<br />
Malaria surveillance has been one of the strongest parts under the NVBDC<br />
Pprogramme. Based on the examination of about 100 million blood slides per<br />
