Table 1. Endemicity classes for implementation of SAFE based on trachomatous inflammation–follicular (TF) and trichiasis (TT).
TF Prevalence band | Classification | Implementation |
<5% | Non-endemic | No need for implementation of AFE |
≥5% and <10% | Hypo-endemic | Mapping, F and E can be applied, focal A |
≥10% and <30% | Meso-endemic | AFE at district level (≥3 years then review) |
≥30% | Hyper-endemic | AFE at district level (≥5 years then review) |
