Purpose The World Health Organization (WHO) Philippines is looking for an institutional contractual partner to enhance the integrated leprosy control and prevention strategies and interrupt its transmission by 2030. The work will be carried out under an Agreement for Performance of Work (APW) contract. Background The Philippines achieved the elimination of leprosy as a public health problem at the national level in 1998, based on the WHO threshold of a prevalence rate of less than 1 case per 10,000 population. Despite this milestone, the country continues to report almost 2,000 new cases annually, making it the leading contributor of leprosy cases in the WHO Western Pacific Region. This sustained transmission underscores the critical need for intensified and continuous household contact screening and early case detection efforts. Objective To provide comprehensive logistical and coordination support to the Department of Health National Leprosy Control Program (NLCP) and WHO in the successful conduct of programmatic activities for the integration and strengthening of leprosy and skin NTD services aligned with the national goal of interrupting transmission by 2030.
