About the Project

Lymphatic Filariasis (LF), is a neglected tropical disease which disproportionately affects vulnerable population and perpetuates existing relationships between disease and poverty. Lymphatic Filariasis, however, has a proven strategy for elimination through the administration of effective drug combinations at population level for several years. India bears 40% of the global burden of 120 million population affected with the LF. This disease is endemic to 148 districts spread across 14 states namely Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujrat, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal of the country. Despite a proven strategy, elimination of Lymphatic Filariasis in India continues to be a distant goal as efforts are largely focused on improving service delivery without any significant focus on demand generation. The proposed program mainly lays focus on demand generation through social mobilization efforts leveraging several existing platforms and channels like State Rural Livelihoods Missions, Panchayati Raj Institutions, Front-Line Workers, schools, Civil Society Organization networks, etc.

About the Role

The project will work in all highly endemic districts with the dual objectives of increasing demand for drugs, and improving compliance for drugs at the population level. For stimulating demand and improving compliance, the project will strive for:

• Creating awareness about the disease, fear about its consequences, prevalence and endemicity in the locality, possibility of prevention and the role of Mass Drug Administration (MDA).
• Popularizing the MDA dates among the community in the program locality.
• Generating expectation of the community about receipt of free drugs from the Government drug distributors (primarily, Front Line Workers as per the current national strategy), and making them aware about their right to get the benefit of this important and free preventive drug distribution from the Government.
• Building capacity of health workers, mainly Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA), to disseminate LF and MDA related information.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support in the design of data collection tools, and protocols, and in sampling related activities, like preparation of sampling frame, selection of samples etc.
• Support in planning, implementation, maintaining the process of data collection, analysis and presentations.
• Clean and organize available data using statistical software (SPSS/STATA/R).
• Data analysis at different levels to feed the states for evidence-based communication planning.
• Support in planning and implement dissemination of surveys results at the national, or state level.
• Keep track of survey as per planning schedule and updating the team about the progress and resolving the problem if associated.
• Coordinate all aspects of program/field monitoring and reporting along with ensuring quality of the data is produced on time.
• Provide techno-managerial support as well as coordinate with third party agencies in conducting assessments/evaluations as required.
• Developing project MIS/Reporting formats and other measurement tools to monitor project progress.
• Assist in the training of DMCs and SMCs.
