Incidence of blinding trachoma<br />
Progress towards elimination<br />
Population-based surveys in endemic areas, rapid assessment<br />
Resources, socioeconomic development, environmental conditions<br />
Annually at GET <strong>2020</strong> meetings or every 3 years in endemic areas<br />
• prevalence of trachomatous entropion trichiasis at district level;<br />
• prevalence of active trachoma in 1–9-year-olds at district level; and<br />
• progress in achieving the ultimate intervention goals<br />
National data are being used to refi ne ultimate intervention goals and annual intervention objectives. The data are included<br />
in WHO information on neglected tropical diseases, in the WHO Global <strong>Health</strong> Atlas and the WHO Infobase.<br />
