Partner with ESPEN

Unite for a Future Free from Neglected Tropical Diseases in the African Region

ESPEN works hand in hand with governments, donors, pharmaceutical partners, NGOs, and communities to eliminate five of the most devastating NTDs across Africa. Our strength lies in collaboration—driving impact through innovation, data, medicine donations, and shared commitment to equity and health for all.

Our work aligns with the WHO NTD Roadmap 2021–2030, while advancing One Health, Universal Health Coverage (UHC), and promoting equity within health systems.

What we achieve together

  • Accelerate Program Delivery using WHO-approved tools and supply chain support
  • Drive Integrated Approaches across One Health, vector control, and data surveillance
  • Empower Countries and Communities through localized mapping and capacity-building
