First, see who is already working in your area. Collaboration is essential to ensure deworming activities of different agencies are unified within a national program. It is important to know whether anyone else is deworming in your area to avoid duplication of deworming effort. If someone else is deworming nearby, you may be able to work together by jointly undertaking training or coordinating the ordering of drugs.
The WHO Global Databank has information on what organizations are working in different countries. To get the country reports available from the databank, click on the country you are interested in below:
*Countries above are catagorized by WHO regional office: Africa, South-East Asia and Western Pacific respectively.
These reports will guide you as you find out who is working on deworming in your area, and you should also check with your local health and education officials to find out if other organizations are carrying out deworming campaigns.
If you see that an organization is working in your area, it does not necessarily mean that everyone in your area has been treated. Check the date of treatment and the number of people treated to see if coverage is recent and complete.
Then,
contact your local education and health officials, to discuss your
intentions to carry out deworming in their schools and to get their
input.
If
you have already completed, started or intend to start a deworming
program, let us
know about it, so we can
post it here.
Finally,
after you have completed the steps in the guide, register your plan with Deworm the
World. Please let Deworm the World know where you are deworming
and which drugs you are using to improve our database of deworming
activities and promote collaboration. By applying to work with
us, you may get access to resources or activities that we can direct
towards your project.
