The UK Coalition Against NTDs is a collaborative partnership between UK organisations, coalitions and special interest groups actively engaged in the control, elimination or eradication of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The Coalition works to promote the cause of ending NTDs through influencing decision making and policy in the UK as well as collaborating with other global actors. Our influencing priorities are guided by global efforts, particularly the WHO <\/span>\n NTD Road Map<\/a>.\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n

Our vision<\/strong> is a world free of neglected tropical diseases, as a result of sustained positive change to the root causes of poverty, exclusion and ill health. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Our mission<\/strong> is to champion and drive comprehensive action to end NTDs, through policy influencing, advocacy and communications.<\/strong>\n <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Established in October 2011, <\/strong>the UK Coalition against Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) is a national platform and collaborative partnership. Its members are UK based organisations actively engaged in implementation, capacity building and research of neglected tropical diseases working toward their control, elimination and eradication at scale. The UK Coalition is built upon trust, transparent sharing of information, consultation and the open spirit of collaboration <\/strong><\/p>\n

The UK Coalition supports the delivery of the WHO NTD road map entitled, \u2018Ending the neglect to attain the Sustainable Development Goals: a road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021 – 2030.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

To control, eliminate and eradicate NTDs in an effective and sustainable way, we believe:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • National government leadership is essential, with support to strengthen health systems and effective long-term investment <\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Cross-sectoral approaches to NTD programmes are crucial to embed NTD interventions across health systems and create synergy with broader development programmes<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Strengthening social inclusion and gender equity are critical to ensuring access to all NTD interventions and to support the achievement of universal health coverage (under <\/strong>\n SDG3<\/strong><\/a>)<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Funding and other resourcing must be coordinated between stakeholders across the public, private and philanthropic sectors as well as other stakeholders including non-government organisations, researchers and academia.<\/strong>\n <\/strong>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
