This study was principally funded by the Global Trachoma Mapping Project (GTMP) grant
from the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (ARIES: 203145)
to Sightsavers, which led a consortium of non-governmental organizations and academic
institutions to support health ministries to complete baseline trachoma mapping worldwide;
the Wellcome Trust (098521); and the Fred Hollows Foundation (ref 1954-0). The GTMP
was also funded by the United States Agency for International Development, through
the ENVISION project implemented by RTI International under cooperative agreement
number AID-OAA-A-11-00048, and the END in Asia project implemented by FHI360 under
cooperative agreement number OAA-A-10-00051. A committee established in March 2012
to examine issues surrounding completion of global trachoma mapping was initially
funded by a grant from Pfizer to the International Trachoma Initiative. AWS was a
Wellcome Trust Intermediate Clinical Fellow at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical
Medicine, and is now a staff member of the World Health Organization. The authors
