Any UK registered organisation actively engaged in the control, elimination or eradication of NTDs and supporting the aims and values of the UK Coalition may apply to join the Coalition as a member or observer. Members and observers engage in the Coalition\u2019s activities through delegated representatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

The work of the Coalition is led by an Executive Working Group (EWG), which is open to all members and engages and consults with the entire membership regularly to approve policy positions and strategic decisions. The primary role of the EWG is to ensure the UK Coalition functions effectively, according to its agreed mandate. The Coalition membership holds an Annual General Meeting each year.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
