Background and Summary. Haiti is a country in the Caribbean with around 10 million inhabitants (World Bank 2009). It has a surface area of 27,000 square kilometres divided into ten (10) geographic and health departments. Haiti has the highest tuberculosis incidence and prevalence rates in the western hemisphere. According to WHO's most recent estimates for 2009 (WHO 2010 Global Tuberculosis Control Report), the incidence rate is 238 per 100,000 population for all forms of tuberculosis (24,000 cases) and 148 notified and relapse new cases per 100,000 population (14,833 cases) for all forms of tuberculosis. The prevalence rate is 331 per 100,000 population for all forms of tuberculosis (33,000 cases). Case detection rate is 62% (all forms) in 2009, while treatment success rate is 82% (2007 cohort). In order to substantially reduce TB transmission and TB-related morbidity and mortality, the National Tuberculosis Control Program (PNLT) is active at all levels of the health pyramid with a peripheral level (diagnosis and treatment centres, CDTs, and treatment centres, CTs), an intermediary level (departmental coordination) and a central level (the PNLT's Central Coordination). The DOTS strategy has been in application since 1997. The PNLT currently bases its actions on the 2006-2015 Strategic Plan, which was recently updated. All of the program's action plans and activities are in line with the main strategic focuses of this plan, which is entirely consistent with the components of the STOP TB strategy. The Round 3 Grant, which ended in July 2009, made it possible to increase the number of institutions applying the DOTS strategy. As a result, the percentage of tuberculosis cases under DOTS rose significantly. The number of notified cases of smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis also increased since 2005. The Round 9 Program intends to continue with the progress that was made in Round 3, by extending the DOTS network and improving the quality of DOTS services. Given the increase in the number of MDR-TB cases over the past few years, the fight against multi-drug resistance will also be a core component of the Round 9 Grant. The quality of DOTS will be improved by: (1) strengthening human resources at all PNLT levels (coordination, departments, laboratories, peripheral centres) responsible for management, monitoring, evaluation and patient services, and (2) supplying laboratories with technical equipment. Because of Haiti's geography and the state of its roads, access to DOTS services is ...
Background and Summary. MENTOR will target the northern provinces of Zaire and Uige and the Huambo province of Angola with school, community and health facility based programs for NTD control and prevention programs. While reliable surveillance data and mapping of diseases in Angola is minimal, passive surveillance at health facility level does demonstrate that the northern, significantly poorer provinces carry a disproportionately high burden of NTDs. With this in mind, MENTOR aims to work with and support both the Ministry of Education (MoE) and the Ministry of Health (MoH) to roll out a NTD prevention and treatment campaign in schools and communities in three targeted provinces. National scale mass drug administration campaigns to control NTDs are the main goal of the MoH NTD program. XXXXXX proposes to support the MoH towards this national goal, commencing with an initial roll out of drugs targeting diseases that are known to be present and pervasive. Specifically, MENTOR will support MoH using existing MoH stocks and donations of Albendazole and Praziquantel to target specific NTDs, including schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis and those NTDs (helminthes) that are soil transmitted. MENTOR will work with the MoH and MoE to target women of childbearing age, pre-school aged children, school aged children under 15 years of age as well as at-risk adults in rural and urban communities, in Huambo, Uige and Zaire with a mass drug administration (MDA) programme. In addition, MENTOR will ensure health facilities throughout the provinces receive trainings on how to diagnose and treat the targeted neglected tropical diseases. A Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Education (WASHE) programme will also be implemented in schools, in order to contribute to the prevention of infection or re-infection with these diseases. MENTOR will closely support the provincial MoH teams to ensure the efficient execution of the NTD program and effective programme monitoring. Additionally, MENTOR will facilitate sustainable capacity building of MoH partners in the three provinces, as they take on increasing responsibility for overall implementation of these NTD activities.

Background and Summary. Sri Lanka is a low middle income (island) country with a population of twenty million people. It is currently experiencing a low level HIV epidemic with less than 0.1% of the adult population infected. The estimate number of people living with HIV as at the end of 2011 was around 4200. However, a gradual increase in new cases is being observed and the continuing presence of certain socio-demographic and behavioural factors associated with HIV infection may change the present HIV landscape. The main mode of transmission is unprotected sex between men and women (82.8%), with men who have sex with men having accounted for 12.3% of the transmission while mother to child transmission was 4.4%. Though injecting drug use is not a common phenomenon (0.5%), certain socioeconomic and behavioural factors noticed in the country may ignite an epidemic in the future. The presence of a large youth population, internal and external migration, clandestine but flourishing sex industry, low level of condom use and concurrent sexual relationships among key populations are some of such factors. Low level of sexually transmitted infections (STI), availability and accessibility to free of charge health services from the state sector, high literacy rate and low level of drug injectors are protective factors. The Grant focuses on increasing the scale and quality of comprehensive interventions for most-at-risk populations, i.e. female sex workers, men who have sex with men, drug users, SRL-913-G16-H Phase 2 Annex A and beach boys1 who are also identified as a high risk group based on the findings of the behavioural surveillance survey 2006-7. Voluntary counselling and testing will continue to be implemented in all STI clinics run by the National STD/AIDS Control Programme. Both governmental and non-governmental Principal Recipients will share the procurement and distribution of health products in some Service Delivery Areas (SDAs). All other activities will be contracted through the non- governmental Principal Recipient to local non-governmental organizations.
Background and Summary. Bhutan is a landlocked country, with a total population of 635,000 situated in the Himalayas bordering China, the northeast states of India, close to Nepal and Bangladesh. The borders are increasingly porous with greater commerce and trade. Some places, such as Nepal and the northeastern Indian states of Manipur, Nagaland, and Mizoram, are already experiencing “concentrated” HIV epidemics, while others, such as the Indian states of Sikkim and Meghalaya, maintain a relatively low prevalence. A high level of inter mobility across these borders indicates an urgent need for sharing information and collaborative programs on HIV/AIDS prevention efforts in the region. Based on the available data, UNAIDS estimates that the number of people living with HIV in Bhutan in 2007 is <500 and the prevalence of HIV infection among adults 15-49 is <0.1%. This classifies Bhutan as a low prevalence country. Since the first case was detected in 1993, the cumulative number of HIV cases as of the end of June 2006 has increased to 90 cases, half of them infected within the last
Background and Summary. Phase C of the Caldera Springs expansion includes two subdivisions. The first is a 16-lot subdivision for overnight lodging units (“OLU”) approved under land use file number 247-22-000182-TP. The second is a 72-lot residential subdivision approved under land use file number 247-22-000183-TP. The property owner requests two Improvement Agreements. The first is related to the infrastructure costs associated with roads and utilities for Lots 421 through 457 (Phase C-1) within the Residential Subdivision and Lots 24 through 31 of the OLU Subdivision (Phase C-1). See Figure 1 and 2 below. 000 XX Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx, Xxxxxx 00000 | P.O. Box 6005, Bend, OR 97708-6005 (000) 000-0000 xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx/xx Figure 1. Phase C-1 (red outline) within Phase C, 72-lot residential subdivision (Source: Parametrix) Figure 2. Phase C-1 (red outline) within Phase C, 16-lot OLU subdivision (Source: Parametrix) The second improvement agreement request pertains to the actual construction costs for the construction of four (4) OLU’s within Phase A. Condition of Approval No. 7 for the Phase C OLU Tentative Plat (247-22-00182-TP) requires a certain number of OLUs to be constructed or otherwise bonded prior to final approval of the Phase C-1 Plat. The applicant proposes to bond for 4 OLUS to ensure the required 2.3:1 resort-wide OLU to single-family residential ratio is met. Figure 3: Lot 2 and 16 within Phase A (Source: Parametrix) Caldera Springs submitted the attached Improvement Agreements for road and utility infrastructure associated with Phase C-1 within both the OLU and residential subdivisions, as well as an Improvement Agreement for four (4) OLUs within Phase A as required prior to final plat approval for Phase C. The cost estimates for each is included below and included in the attached agreement. The cost estimates were reviewed and approved by the Road Department. • 247-22-000860-IA: Phase C-1 (road and utility infrastructure for OLU and residential subdivisions) - $3,060,934.89 • 247-22-000861-IA: Phase A (Lot 2 and Lot 16 OLU construction) - $890,966.04 Per Deschutes County Code 17.24.130(B), the security amount must be 120 percent of the cost estimate.

Next Steps Staff anticipates the Improvement Agreements will return as ...
Background and Summary. On February 16, 2017, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) issued Administrative Civil Liability (ACL) Complaint R1-2017-0017 (Complaint) to the City of Ferndale (Ferndale or Owner) for discharges from the Ferndale Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) in violation of provisions of law for which the Regional Water Board is required to impose mandatory minimum penalties (MMPs) pursuant to California Water Code (Water Code) section 13385, subdivisions (h) and (i). The Complaint alleges that the Discharger exceeded effluent limitations set forth in Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) Orders No. R1-2009-0036 and R1-2012-0097 (NPDES No. CA0022721). The Discharger waived the 90-day hearing requirement in order to engage in settlement discussions with the Regional Water Board Prosecution Team. On May 30, 2017, the Discharger submitted a compliance project proposal for the Regional Board’s approval. Based on the analysis below, Ferndale WWTF serves a small community that has a financial hardship and therefore, qualifies for a compliance project.
