Lawa project components.

Component	Description	Intended Impact/Benefit
Treatment and Intensive Education	Tailored treatment program with intensive education in different age groups including adults, employing a range of media and information technologies including video, placed in key locations (village markets, shops, community centers, etc.).	People in community both infected and non-infected have knowledge and are aware of the cause of liver fluke infection.
School-based IEC and Science Curriculum	Integrating of liver fluke disease ecology in science curriculum using primary school students, and junior high school.	Students who live in the community with their parents have knowledge and aware of the causes of liver fluke infection. They also have knowledge are a competent to remind parents not to eat raw fish.
Technical Training for Liver Fluke Control	Community hospital staff and community volunteer training programs.	Community hospital staff and public health volunteers are capable to oversee liver fluke control program suitable to their villages, are competent to make recommendations and monitor peoples’ eating behavior in the village.
Manual of Liver Fluke Control Strategy	Production and distribution of a manual for establishing community- based liver fluke control programmes aimed at district and village-level administrators, school administrators, community health volunteers and other key groups.	As a media for distribution, as well as the manual for community hospital staffs and public health volunteers to study for their references.
Disease Surveillance and Environmental Monitoring	Continual measurement of liver fluke prevalence in treated human populations, and host wildlife populations (snails and fish). Investigate and monitor environmental conditions that promote infection.	Detect environmental trends in relation to snail and fish host ecology potentially associated with liver fluke transmission dynamics.
