WHO NTD roadmap public consultation

                                    
The World Health Organization (WHO) prepared the
document “Ending the neglect to attain the Sustainable Development Goals: a
road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021−2030” (“the road map”) through an
extensive global consultation pursuant to decision EB146(9) of the Executive
Board at its 146th session, which culminated in the endorsement of the document
by the Seventy-third World Health Assembly in 2020. The road map sets global
targets and milestones to prevent, control, eliminate or eradicate 20 diseases
and disease groups as well as cross-cutting targets aligned with the
Sustainable Development Goals. These include overarching, cross-cutting and
disease-specific targets the achievement of which requires considerable work by
countries and stakeholders.
The WHO Secretariat is leading the follow-up
assessment of four of the eleven dimensions of the heat map by using a gap
assessment tool (GAT), a qualitative, participatory device for tracking
progress towards the 2030 targets of the road map. This public consultation
seeks your perceptions on the status of progress along these four dimensions
for all 20 NTDs. Your inputs will be consolidated for consideration by
disease-specific focus groups whose deliberations will identify current gaps
that pose a persistent risk to the attainment of the road map targets. This
will provide qualitative evidence on corrective measures needed to address
these gaps and inform reporting on global progress against NTDs to the
Seventy-sixth World Health Assembly in 2024.
WHO is inviting you to participate in this second
public consultation by completing the online questionnaire in this phase of web
consultation. It is also available in from the questionnaire itself in Arabic,
French, Spanish and Portuguese. You will be able to select the diseases and
dimensions for which you would like to provide response.
