盘尾丝虫病的控制不仅是全球卫生领域的一个重大成功故事，而且也是公私伙伴关系在国际一级和国家一级的力量的最佳范例之一。盘尾丝虫病的故事也是一个主要的例子，说明一个被称为非政府发展组织的团体对业务研究的贡献，这些研究导致治疗战略和政策的重大变化。这里介绍的四个案例研究说明了非政府发展组织对非洲“伊维菌素社区定向治疗”-CDTI-的发展所作的一些关键贡献，该治疗方法已成为非洲盘尾丝虫病控制方案内核准的方法。国际、多边、政府机构和非政府发展组织协调小组之间的伙伴关系是APOC方案结构的支柱，促进了治疗方案的进展和扩大。贡献包括在马里和尼日利亚试行基于社区的方法;研究、合作和协调治疗战略和政策，建立联盟，建设国家卫生工作队伍的能力，以及在国家和国际一级进行宣传。盘尾丝虫病控制方案和APOC发挥了领导作用，非政府发展组织与国家卫生当局合作，在倡导社区方法方面发挥了重要作用，从而实现并维持了至少20年的伊维菌素治疗，并加强了社区卫生系统。
The control of onchocerciasis is not only a major success story in global health, but also one of the best examples of the power of public-private partnership at the international level as well as at the national level. The onchocerciasis story is also a leading example of the contribution of a group of called Non-Governmental Development Organizations (NGDO) to operational research which resulted in important changes in treatment strategies and policies. The four case studies presented here illustrate some key contributions the NGDOs made to the development of “community directed treatment with ivermectin” –CDTI, in Africa, which became the approved methodology within the African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC). The partnership between the international, multilateral, government institutions and the NGDO Coordination Group was the backbone of the APOC programme’s structure and facilitated progress and scale-up of treatment programmes. Contributions included piloting community–based methodology in Mali and Nigeria; research, collaboration and coordination on treatment strategies and policies, coalition building, capacity building of national health workforce and advocacy at the national and international level. While the Onchocerciasis Control Programme (OCP) and APOC provided leadership, the NGDOs working with the national health authorities played a major role in advocacy evolving the community methodology which led to achieving and maintaining- treatments with ivermectin for at least 20 years and strengthening community health systems.
