8- 8:05 am Welcome and review of the agenda
8:05- 8:25 Review of the proceedings from the last two meetings
8:25- 8:30 Structure of the meeting
• Presentation of a framework / decision-tree to guide the discussion
• We will address three current gaps in our knowledge / understanding
- We do not have sufficient understanding of the profile of the individual who has never taken the treatment.
- We do not know the extent of systematic noncompliance in countries.
- We have not identified standardised approaches to address and reduce systematic noncompliance.
8:30- 9:00 Discussion on the terminology
• Aim to reach consensus around a name and a definition
9:00- 9:40 Addressing the gap: We do not have sufficient understanding of the profile of the systematic noncomplier and how they may affect LF transmission.
• Aim to explore how existing data may be analyzed to shed light on the profile of this individual.
• What can be addressed through existing data (short term) and where new research may be needed (medium term)?
9:40-9:45 Break
9:45-10:20 Addressing the gap: We do not know the extent / prevalence of systematic noncompliance in countries.
• Aim to explore how data on systematic noncompliance can be collected in the short term.
• Is there consensus on priority platforms to collect data?
10:15 – 10:55 Addressing the gap: We have not identified standardised approaches to address systematic noncompliance.
• Aim to discuss what the research agenda should be moving forward to ensure a programmatic response to systematic noncompliance (short – medium term)
• What research is needed to assess and address SNC using new approaches (medium term)?
10:55 Next steps – final thoughts
11:00 Adjournment
