Country engagement is the driving force behind cholera control and elimination
Governments, national institutions and affected communities drive the implementation of the Global Roadmap at the country level, with the support of GTFCC. National Cholera Plans (NCPs) are developed by each country according to its specific context and set appropriate targets for cholera control and elimination. A NCP may be built on or integrated into existing initiatives or programs and should not impede what has already been developed.
An NCP is a comprehensive document covering all aspects of a country’s cholera prevention and control strategies. All relevant national ministries, government agencies and institutions should be involved in the process of developing, implementing and monitoring the plan.
As a dynamic, multi-year plan, the NCP states the country’s goals and outlines detailed actions and budgets to coordinate the efforts of everyone working to meet those goals. To monitor progress, the country sets interim checkpoints and measures to develop corrective actions as needed. The implementation plan is reviewed and revised on a regular basis – once a year at least – and updated based on cholera epidemiology.
