Our research focus and approaches

We have expertise in translational research that bridges research discoveries with community impact 

At CNTD, we translate scientific breakthroughs into practical tools that work in real-world settings, from diagnostics and treatment guidelines to implementation models. This approach ensures that innovations reach the people who need them most.

We use and advocate for integrated surveillance and data for decision-making

We support the design and implementation of robust surveillance systems that guide evidence-based interventions. From mapping disease hotspots to monitoring elimination thresholds, our work ensures that data informs policy and action at every level.

We support national NTD programmes in developing local capacity and sustainability 

We work alongside national governments and health ministries to co-develop strategies, capacities, and tools for the control and elimination of NTDs. We help strengthen programme planning, delivery, and monitoring to ensure locally led impact.
