Ethiopia Cholera Control and Prevention (ECCP)

Cholera remains a public health concern in Ethiopia. We aim to contribute to reducing the burden of cholera and generate scientifically strong data on the effectiveness and impact of OCV (Euvichol-Plus) vaccination in target areas in Ethiopia, as well as various aspects of cholera epidemiology. This includes the disease burden, disease severity and fatality, transmission and carriage/shedding, site-specific risk factors and healthcare seeking behaviour associated with cholera, etiologies of non-cholera diarrheal diseases and antimicrobial resistance, and etc. This project will contribute to the country’s efforts towards the national cholera plan (NCP), with evidence-based data to be generated and stakeholder engagements in alignment with the WHO Global Task Force for Cholera Control (GTFCC) ‘Ending Cholera – Global Roadmap to 2030’.
