ESPEN 2021 Annual Report En

The year 2021 saw the official launching of the WHO’s second road map for NTDs entitled ‘Ending the neglect to attain the Sustainable Development Goals: a road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021–2030’. The year 2021 was also marked by two major and critical events in the African region: the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and the early interruption of the UK FCDO funding to NTD programmes from 19 African countries. 

Despite these two major challenging and disrupting events, ESPEN has continued to work with country programmes and partners to make sure that everyone keeps on track towards the achievement of the goals established by the new NTD Roadmap 2021-2030.
