Following a successful #NNN2026, Uniting joined the Kikundi site visit at UGHE.
We attended a technical workshop equipping NTD Programme Managers from across Africa with tools for advocacy, domestic resource mobilization, & integration to help #BeatNTDs. ๐ŸŒ

Excited for Kikundiโ€™s continued impact! ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

On the final day of #NNN2026, the focus is on UN HRC Res 62/67 on Human Rights & #NTDs! ๐ŸŒUnitingโ€™s Stuart Halford met with Anesvad's CEO to map out plans to translate this resolution into action in the proposed OHCHR consultations. We must keep affected people at the heart of #BeatNTDs efforts!

Day 2 at #NNN2026 has been inspiring! To truly beat #NTDs, the path forward is clear: integrate interventions into national health systems and place affected communities at the heart of the response.

At #NNN2026 today, the message was clear: distance to NTD care is still too far for too many.
Uniting's Ruth Rensburg noted a whole-of-government approach can sustain elimination gains.

Over 1.4B people are affected by #NTDs, causing 170K+ deaths annually. Numbers aren't enough. The END Fund and African Women in Photography's 'Through Her Lens' photography exhibition showcases the human side of these treatable conditions.
