The implementation units from which the various the data indicators were calculated.

Indicators	Variables calculated	Formula/narration
Past prevalence	Prevalence calculated by the site data of the Past quality. District level calculation: It is the average prevalence of all site prevalence of the most recent year and the Past diagnostic methods Subdistrict level: It is the highest	Site prevalence: the site prevalence if not already calculated is calculated as below: -Number of people positives/Number of people examined *100 District Prevalence (DP): - (Total positives) / (Total examined) * 100
	prevalence of all site prevalence of the most recent year and the Past diagnostic methods	Prevalence of the subdistrict (SDP): Highest site prevalence among all sites (in the highest quality group) in the communities-based on parasitological technique/results
Year of Past prevalence	Year of the Past prevalence of the district or communities
Diagnostic methods of the Past prevalence	Diagnostic methods of the Past prevalence of the district or communities	For calculation of prevalence, the following diagnostic tests results were used: - Kato Katz technique, Urine filtration technique, Urine sedimentation technique, blood in urine (BIU), dipstick and point-of-care circulating cathodic antigen test
Number of sites of the Past prevalence	Number of sites used for the calculation of the Past prevalence of the district or communities	Based on the parasitological or clinical laboratory methods
Endemicity by the Past prevalence	Endemicity category determined by the Past prevalence of the communities or district (The endemicity category is determined as recommended in the WHO guidelines	Non-endemic, Low prevalence (<10 %), Moderate prevalence (10 %–49 %) High prevalence (50 % and above)
School Aged Children (SAC) needing preventive chemotherapy (PC)	Total number of school age children living in an endemic area classified low, moderate, or high risk	Low prevalence (<10 %), Moderate prevalence (10 %–49 %) High prevalence (50 % and above)
Adult needing PC	Number of adults needing treatment in an endemic area classified moderate, or high risk	Low risk: no adult treatment is recommended Moderate risk: 20 % of the total adult population in the sub district or district High risk: All he adult population in the sub district or district
Drug estimates	The number of drugs needed is calculated by multiplying the population to be treated by a factor that depends on the age. This factor is 2.5 for school age children and 3 for adults	The dose by treatment is 2.5 tablets per SAC and 3 tablets per adult.
Treatment adequacy	Comparison of preventive Chemotherapy (PC) regimen at district level compared to sub district level	No change in strategy: the treatment strategy does not change from district implementation to community's implementation Adequate: No change in preventive chemotherapy (PC) regimen Under treatment: PC regimen at district level is lower than PC regimen suggested by communities' analysis. Over treatment: PC regimen at district level is higher than PC regimen suggested by communities' analysis
