The selection of these process indicator(s) to be collected should be based on how they will be used and the resources available. See the table below for indicators, their uses and expected values. An important indicator is the estimate of drug coverage (i.e. the proportion of the school-age population, both enrolled and non-enrolled, that received the drugs). It gives the minimum indication of the effectiveness of the program, in the absence of parasitological studies to evaluate the program’s impact on worm intensity and prevalence.

Please send us information on indicators you have collected, especially how many children you have dewormed and where, so that we avoid duplication and others can learn and be encouraged by your experience.
