Regional Action Plan for Universal Eye Health: Western Pacific

Towards Universal Eye Health: A Regional Action Plan for the Western Pacific (2014–2019) presents the first such plan for the Region. While its main objectives are aligned with the global action plan for the prevention of avoidable visual impairment, the plan provides a regional context for WHO support to help address specific needs in Asia and the Pacific.

The plan provides a menu of recommended actions for Member States and WHO that can be prioritized and adapted to accommodate different contexts and settings in the Region.

Low Vision Care in Africa

Low Vision Care in Africa: Practical Approaches to Clinical Services, Educational Engagement and Planning This manual has been developed with the providers and planners in mind; it is an attempt to provide those individuals at hospitals, training schools, and other settings with the knowledge and understanding of implementing low vision within an overall VISION 2020 programme. While the focus is primarily on children, this manual can also assist programmes to manage the low vision needs of adults. In this manual, we are not trying to create an advocacy tool but some of the messages in the planning session can be adapted for this purpose.

CBM Peru Final Evaluation

The final evaluation of the Seeing is Believing: Combatting Blindness in Peru programme aimed to:

  • identify and evaluate if the strategies used by the partners to identify patients have been effective;
  • to evaluate the staff and the organizational capacity of the partners for the implementation of the different trainings at medical, administrative and community level;
  • to collect information for a case study on the sharing of data between partners in the programme (this has been analysed separately).

Visits were made to four partner organisations within the programme cluster, using a methodology of in-depth face-to-face interviews with managers, doctors, and personnel who provided and received training for the development of counselling and community activities. For the two remaining partners, interviews were conducted on Skype with their service centres directors.
