The NTD NGO Network is made up of a broad range of NGOs that work across diseases, between cross-cutting issues and with governments to eliminate and control NTDs.

The BEST framework

The BEST Framework

Read about a conceptual framework that includes all NTD interventions and encourages consistency and coherence across NTD programmes. 

Our 2021 annual conference welcomed 1000 delegates from 83 countries, representing more than 320 civil society organisations, as well as governments, donors and the private sector. Access the conference report here. 

 

NNN Blog

Tackling NTDs is a story of passion and commitment - passion to tackle the inequity that sees more than one billion people impacted by these diseases that are not only a health issue but driven by many other factors, often related to the challenges of inequity and poverty. This passion drives the NNN. Read some of our member's approach to this aim in our blog.

“Rather than ‘neglected diseases,’ we should say ‘diseases or neglected people.’ This is a result of inequalities. The best way to address these diseases is to deal with issues or inequities.” @DonaldKaberuka, chair of ⁦@GlobalFund at #KigaliSummit @chogm2022 https://t.co/hbErYBSKtZ

RT @sci_ntds: At #KigaliSummit @MoetiTshidi talks about the progress on #NTDs & malaria, including how COVID-19 slowed down progress & in turn impacted on financing. Yet, she's hopeful that it's possible to be more efficient through harmonising programmes that deliver for NTDs and malaria. https://t.co/59nBCnqjJR
