a

Proportion of unsurveyed districts that are suspected endemic.

b

Proportion of known endemic districts falling into each category of endemicity.

c

Unit of implementation (health district) is defined as the first administrative level.

d

Third administrative level (wereda) is the implementation unit, but some zonal data are included in this table and used to inform SAFE implementation.

e

Five districts were historically endemic in Morocco.

f

Regional data available in Table 6.

g

TT estimates are in the whole population (0–99 years).

h

Data in Egypt were collected at the governorate (regional) level, there have been no recent surveys at finer spatial scales and no alternative public health districts have been defined.
