Poverty and Tropical Disease

Onchocerciasis

Sustainable Development Goal 1 aims to end poverty in all its forms everywhere. Eradicating poverty in all its forms remains one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. Globally, more than 800 million people are still living on less than $1.25 a day; many lack access to adequate food, clean drinking water, and sanitation. While Sustainable Development Goal 3.3 aims to by 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable diseases.

In this assignment, you will examine the relationship between Onchocerciasis and economic level in two countries from different geographic areas. You will examine the level of poverty—GDP (gross domestic product) and GNI (gross national income)— per capita for these two countries. You will compare and contrast the incidence and trend of the disease in each of these countries in relation to the observed economic level. For this assignment, you will study the following countries:
