Overview <\/p>\n
National onchocerciasis elimination committees (NOECs) play a vital role in

\n<\/p>\n
how to establish an NOEC \u2013 defining objectives, setting up a formal committee,
\nselecting committee members, drafting terms of reference and engaging the right
\npeople;
\nhow to operate an NOEC \u2013 guiding implementation of national strategic plans,
\nestablishing monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems, creating annual work
\nplans, designing contingency plans and reporting on progress; and
\nhow to use the tools available to NOECs \u2013 making the best use of tools for
\nonchocerciasis surveillance and monitoring, communication, resource
\nmobilization and capacity-building.
<\/p>\n
The guidance is informed by successful country case studies and lessons learnt
\nthat can be adapted to your country. <\/p>\n
This handbook is intended for NOEC chairs and members, national programmes,
