DATA

(3)

In the previously examined 6 provinces, for the new exercise, in Bengo province 3 (25%)

of

the examined villages are meso-hyper endemic

for

onchocerciasis,

in

Lunda Sul and Lunda Norte, 6 (60%) and 4 (25%) of the examined villages are meso-hyper endemic

for

onchocerciasis respectively,

in

Cabinda province 18(100%)

of

the examined villages are meso-hyper endemic

for

onchocerciasis. These villages that are meso-hyper endemic

for

onhocerciasis are examined

for

the

first

time. This means that

in

Bengo province

in

the overall 6 villages are meso-hyper endemic since the beginning

of

this exercise last year.

In ^Kwanza Norte province all the examined villages are hypo-endemic for

onchocerciasis.

In

Cabinda because

of

the

political

and

military

situation the selected villages appeared

not to have been

examined

but nearby or

approximate

villages. Now with

^big

improvements

with

the government taking control

of

the FLEC rebel areas, the selected remote villages were examined this time and are

all

meso-h1per endemic.

It

is the same team that examined

in

Cabinda that examined Cunene where

all

examined villages are hypo-endemic and therefore this result shows

validity.

The same teams that previously worked in Lunda Sul and Lunda Norte went back to the field. These results

will

be made clearer when integrated into geographical

ATLAS

GIS.

The reasons

for

the

low

accessibility

is

that

with

the

rainy

season and due

to

the past

war,

many bridges are broken and

not

repaired and some

rivers

are seasonal

like

in Namibe, Cunene provinces

with

no bridges and are dangerous at this period

of

the year, movement

of

land mines

with

rains,

with

the

UN

-OCHA refusing passage due

to

Land mine accidents,

with

very poor state

of

the some roads. REMO was conducted

in

some areas on motorbikes and bicycles due to poor roads and broken bridges.

From these results we

will

propose a

TIDC

project

for

BengoAJige same, one

for

Lunda Norte, one

for

Lunda Sul, one for Moxico, a project for

Huila

and Kuando Kubango and a last project for Cabinda

REMO

in Angola. We also thank WR Angola and the provincial directions
