Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) affect more than ten percent of the world’s population, primarily among the poorest populations. In Ethiopia, more than 75 million people are at risk of infection of at least one neglected tropical disease. NTDs cause suffering, blindness, disability, and delays in physical and cognitive growth which impact a person’s ability to go to school and work, thus perpetuating the cycle of disease and poverty.
Chapter Highlights:
♦ Globally and nationally identified NTDs
♦ Burden of NTDs
♦ Global strategic objectives for joint WASH–NTD initiatives
♦ Program rationale of WASH–NTD coordination
♦ Objectives of the toolkit
