DHIS2-based leprosy/Hansen disease Elimination Monitoring Tool (‎LEMT)‎ – Standard operating procedures

Overview

The Leprosy Elimination Monitoring Tool (LEMT) has been developed based on the Leprosy Elimination Framework1 in order to promote:

• a standard way to monitor progress towards interruption of transmission and elimination of leprosy disease; and
• a bottom-up process of building up evidence for interruption of transmission and elimination of leprosy disease 

The LEMT is based on the “phases of elimination” and visually displays the country’s progress towards the milestones on a national and subnational level, using the traffic light-colouring scheme that corresponds to the Leprosy Elimination Framework
