He supported institutions and health programmes in over 40 countries across Africa\, Asia\, Europe\, the Americas (North and South) and South East Asia. He led efforts by TDR to build implementation research capacity in low- and middle-income countries\, with the development of an implementation research tool kit designed to help researchers\, policymakers and programme officers\, identify and address system bottlenecks and implementation barriers. He was also TDR focal person for the UNDP led Access and Delivery Partnership (ADP) which aims to strengthen country capacity for effective access and delivery of new health technologies. In July 2020 he returned to Nigeria to take up a position as Professor and Director of Research\, Innovation and Development at the University of Medical Sciences Ondo City Nigeria. In his current role\, he continues to promote the implementation research as an essential field for optimizing delivery and effectiveness of health interventions.\nAFZAA RAJABALI: Afzaa Rajabali joined the Bruyère Research Institute as a Research Assistant in October 2020. She received her Master of Public Health degree from Western University and her Bachelor of Medicine\, Bachelor of Surgery degree from Manipal Academy of Higher Education.

SUMMARY:Accelerate: the NTDs IDEA Forum
DESCRIPTION:The disruption to NTD activities caused by COVID-19 may adversely affect progress towards the 2030 NTD Roadmap targets. In order to maintain momentum\, we must mitigate the impact of the pandemic on existing programmes and identify modified intervention strategies. There may also be opportunities to accelerate progress\, especially in those communities where NTD infection levels remain high despite years of intervention. \nThis track seeks approaches that not only get programmes back on track\, but also intensify and/or expand the scale of interventions to expedite progress towards 2030 disease targets. \nExamples include: \n\nImplementing more intensive MDAs for trachoma in a way that reduces infection in areas where previous progress has been less than expected\nUsing real-time data to target more focal interventions for schistosomiasis

SUMMARY:Optimize: the NTDs IDEA Forum
DESCRIPTION:The pandemic gives us an opportunity to reassess how NTD activities are conducted and evaluate how to improve and optimize them. \nOne example is the use of digital tools and data layers to improve microplanning for MDA and overcome inefficiencies of using paper treatment registers\, maps\, and outdated population denominator data. Many of these tools have been effectively used by other health programmes where digital microplanning has improved the coverage\, efficiency and impact of campaigns\, and these tools can be readily modified for use in NTD programmes. \nThis track seeks to identify quicker\, smarter and more impactful ways to plan and deliver NTD programmes and conduct surveys within target communities. \nExamples include: \n\nEmploying digital microplanning tools from polio and routine immunization campaigns for NTD programmes\nNew delivery modalities for deworming\, including engagement with the private sector\nUsing digital tools to design and conduct more efficient NTD surveys

SUMMARY:Adapt & Integrate: the NTDs IDEA Forum
DESCRIPTION:Programmes will need to adapt planning and delivery of MDAs and other interventions to communities to minimise the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2. The shift to door-to-door activities may further strain already limited financial and human resources\, making it essential for programmes to explore adaptations to help reduce costs. \nThere may also be opportunities to integrate interventions across NTDs and other health programmes\, or use existing drug distributors to support community-based COVID-19 contact tracing. Integrated delivery will save time and financial/human resources in ramping-up interventions and minimize the level of contact with households. \nThis dual track seeks innovative ideas that adapt delivery of NTD interventions and surveys and/or integrate these activities within other health campaigns. \nExamples include: \n\nNovel approaches to integrating different NTD interventions with other health campaigns\nAdapted ways to examine eyes for signs of trachoma to minimize risks of COVID-19\nMore efficient approaches to conducting NTD surveys\, including integrated surveys\nInnovative virtual training methods
