Draft template presented and reviewed -

to serve as a tool for national LF programmes to summarize minimal information needed to document LF elimination

to standardize presentation of information to make review of dossiers easier

– Provide complete information required for review process– Reduce clarifications needed by reviewers after submission of

dossier
