PROJECT SUMMARY The proposed project will be implemented in priority sub - African countries. Prioritization is based on USAID’s list of target countries, though final selection of project countries will be done in partnership for CDC. The project seeks to strengthen national control programs for Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) in various ways. First, we will strengthen the evidence- base for public health action through conduct of operational research with a focus on various aspects of NTD control and elimination, including new therapies and diagnostic tools. Secondly, we will support staff of national NTD programs to be exposed to new therapies and diagnostic tools by facilitating attendance at relevant meetings, and visits to model countries to learn and share experiences. Finally, the knowledge generated from the operational research and other interventions carried out by the national NTD programs will be used to support the development of public health policies to guide future programming and action. The anticipated overall outcome of this project is reduced morbidity and mortality from NTDs, primarily in Africa, but in the world at large.

项目摘要 拟议的项目将在优先级子 - 非洲国家实施。优先级是 根据美国国际开发署的目标国家列表，尽管将完成项目国家的最终选择 与CDC合作。 该项目旨在加强针对被忽视的热带疾病的国家控制计划 （NTD）以各种方式。首先，我们将加强公共卫生行动的证据基础 通过进行运营研究，重点是NTD控制的各个方面 消除，包括新的疗法和诊断工具。其次，我们将支持 国家NTD计划将通过促进来接触新疗法和诊断工具 参加相关会议，并访问模型国家学习和分享经验。 最后，从运营研究和其他干预措施中产生的知识 国家NTD计划将用于支持公共卫生的发展 指导未来编程和行动的政策。 该项目的预期总体结果是NTD的发病率和死亡率降低， 首先在非洲，但在整个世界上。
