Assessing cholera interventions in Yemen and providing an innovative intervention

Our goal is to identify the best strategies to control the ongoing cholera outbreaks in the Republic of Yemen (ROY). To do so, we will evaluate previous interventions to inform and improve their implementation currently and in the future. These include use of oral cholera vaccines (OCV), water sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) strategies and acute watery diarrhea (AWD)/cholera-related messaging strategies.

Understand what interventions worked and what did not work to prevent cholera in Yemen. Also, recommend interventions that are possible.

Our findings of what works and why (or what did not work and why) will help guide policy and decision makers understand the factors impacting the success and challenges of the cholera integrated response plan intervention strategies for scale up programs. Consequently, we would have identified the optimal combination of interventions for AWD/cholera affected districts in ROY
