The National Zero Leprosy Roadmap developments workshop, held on June 13, 2023, served as a
\nplatform to discuss and evaluate the effectiveness of the roadmap in tackling the challenges
\nassociated with leprosy control and elimination in the country. The workshop brought together a
\ndiverse range of stakeholders, including representatives from the Ministry of Health, ALERT (All
\nAfrica Leprosy Elimination and Rehabilitation Center), ENAPAL, community and religious leaders,
\ncivil society organizations, actors from the leprosy field, and experts in Neglected Tropical Diseases
\n(NTDs).
\nThe primary objective of the workshop was to ensure that the roadmap devised for leprosy control
\nand elimination is practical and capable of addressing the unique challenges faced by the country.
\nBy involving key stakeholders from various sectors, the workshop aimed to gather insights,
\nexpertise, and diverse perspectives to enhance the roadmap's applicability and effectiveness.
\nThe Leprosy Mission International Ethiopia (TLMI-E) along with MOH played a crucial role in
\ncoordinating the workshop and providing a platform for stakeholders to share their experiences,
\nknowledge, and best practices. The participation of ALERT, a prominent organization dedicated to
\nleprosy elimination and rehabilitation, further enriched the workshop by bringing in valuable insights
\nfrom their fieldwork and research.
\nThe involvement of community and religious leaders, civil society organizations, and actors from the
\nleprosy field ensured that the roadmap development process incorporated the perspectives and
\nneeds of those directly affected by leprosy. Their contributions helped shape a comprehensive and
\ninclusive roadmap that takes into account the social, cultural, and economic aspects of leprosy
\ncontrol and elimination.
\nAdditionally, the participation of experts in NTDs added a broader context to the workshop
\ndiscussions. By drawing on their knowledge and experiences in combating various neglected tropical
\ndiseases, these experts provided valuable insights and recommendations to strengthen the
\nroadmap's effectiveness.
\nOverall, the National Zero Leprosy Roadmap developments workshop served as a collaborative
\nplatform for stakeholders to come together, share their expertise, and contribute towards the
\ndevelopment of a comprehensive roadmap for leprosy control and elimination. Through this
\ncollective effort, the workshop aimed to ensure that the roadmap reflects the realities on the ground
\nand effectively addresses the challenges faced by the country in its fight against leprosy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
