We are very much delighted to collaborate with other Eye Care websites and Resource Centres to reach out more people and develop useful resources. This month we are featuring International Trachoma Initiative as our collaborating partner.
The International Trachoma Initiative (ITI) is dedicated to the elimination of blinding trachoma, the world's leading cause of preventable blindness. The ITI approaches its mission - in countries where the World Health Organization has noted that trachoma remains a significant cause of blindness - through targeted support for expanded implementation of the SAFE strategy. Founded in 1998 by the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation and Pfizer Inc, the ITI seeks to achieve global elimination of blinding trachoma by putting into action the SAFE strategy, including donated Zithromax, applied research and program evaluation, and communications and advocacy.
Working on an independent and objective basis, the ITI collaborates with international agencies and governmental and nongovernmental organizations. The ITI supports the World Health Organization's Alliance for Global Elimination of Trachoma by 2020 (GET 2020) as well as the Int'l Agency for Prevention of Blindness global program Vision 2020: The Right to Sight.
