  2. Sudan: 500-1,000 cases per 100,000 population per year (WHO, 2020)
  3. Ethiopia: 200-500 cases per 100,000 population per year (WHO, 2020)
  4. Kenya: 100-200 cases per 100,000 population per year (WHO, 2020)
  5. Tanzania: 50-100 cases per 100,000 population per year (WHO, 2020)

Moderate-burden countries:

  1. Uganda: 20-50 cases per 100,000 population per year (WHO, 2020)
  2. Democratic Republic of the Congo: 10-20 cases per 100,000 population per year (WHO, 2020)
  3. Burkina Faso: 5-10 cases per 100,000 population per year (WHO, 2020)
  4. Mali: 5-10 cases per 100,000 population per year (WHO, 2020)
