Ending NTDs: together towards 2030
Eliminating NTDs: together towards 2030.
New road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021−2030
‘Ending the neglect to attain the Sustainable Development Goals: a road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021–2030’ is a high-level strategic document and advocacy tool, aimed at strengthening programmatic response to NTDs through shared goals and disease specific targets backed by smarter investments. By mainstreaming 20 diseases, it aims to push for:
- Stronger accountability – shifting from process to impact indicators and accelerating programmatic action to improve scientific understanding, planning and logistics, advocacy and funding, collaboration & multisectoral action
- Intensified cross-cutting approaches - integrating delivery platforms; mainstreaming with local health systems; coordinating beyond health; strengthening country capacity; mobilizing regional & global resources
- A change in operating model and culture – stronger country ownership, improved roles of stakeholders, clearer roles and responsibilities to deliver on 2030 targets
Neglected Tropical Diseases are communicable diseases that prevail in tropical and subtropical countries and affect more than one billion people.
Global targets for 2030 and milestones are set out to prevent, control, eliminate and eradicate a diverse set of 20 diseases and disease groups.
They mainly affect populations living in poverty, in close contact with infectious vectors.
