National Project Implementation Plan - NVBDCP

Studies on transmission dynamics in relation with vector, parasite and
environmental conditions in different eco epidemiological stratum;
Trial of compression sprayers in improving IRS with DDT 70%wdp;
Assessment of different strategies for communication to promote the use of
Insecticide treated nets , especially LLINs in tribal population including
assessment of the influence of housing types and mobility;
Studies on disease burden for both malaria and kala-azar
In addition, protocols for two important randomized controlled studies have
been developed for impact evaluation:
(a) Assessment of the effect of delivering one net per household as a start and
one net a year later, compared to delivering two nets from the outset. The
hypothesis is that staggered delivery might be associated with higher usage
rate and lower risk of being sold.
(b) Assessment of the effect of strengthening supervision of ASHAs and other
village volunteers providing curative services by increasing the number of
supervisors to the point, where each volunteer is supervised monthly.
(i) Technical Program Reviews
The programme implementations are being reviewed periodically by experts,
WHO and World Bank to guide the programme for optimum utilization of
available tools, and suggestion to improve further. The last review that took
place in late 2006/early 2007 was of crucial importance for introducing the new
policies, which will be piloted and taken to scale through this Project. NVBDCP
will undertake such exercises again in 2009, 2011 and 2013 and will seek
permission, approval from MOHFW to set up a team to provide the external
expertise. The emphasis in 2009 review will be on effectiveness, efficiency and
quality of implementation rather than policy issues.
