The Global NGO Deworming Inventory invites you to participate and support The 2010 Deworming Inventory’s mission to highlight the achievements of NGO deworming efforts at the global level.

The Deworming Inventory, launched in June 2010, is a project of the World Health Organization (WHO) in partnership with Children Without Worms (CWW), the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI), and Deworm the World (DtW). T heir mission is to assess the breadth and scope of NGO deworming activities and treatment achievements worldwide.  The Inventory aggregates data regarding NGO deworming activities and presents a centralized overview of deworming progress. The inventory is shared with the WHO Preventive Chemotherapy (PCT) Databank in order to compare NGO data with initiatives from Ministries of Health and measure the “collective progress towards the World Health Assembly (WHA) target of treating 75% of school age children at risk of infection with intestinal worms.”

The results from the 2009 Inventory showed that twenty-four NGOs participated in the 2009 Deworming Inventory. 62.8 million treatments (school-age children treated with a deworming drug) were reported and ff those treatments, 20.8 million were unique treatments not previously captured in the WHO databank; demonstrating that deworming efforts conducted by NGOs are not widely recognized at the global level and therefore not reflected in measurements of global progress towards reaching the WHA target.
