CSIS Africa Program
A growing number of African leaders as well as foreign public and private sector entities are focusing their attention on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Substantial financial commitments by Nigerian officials and the Nigerian government to the African Program for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC) and the London Declaration announced earlier this year by pharmaceutical companies, governments, and global health organizations signal a new unified push toward eradication of these diseases. Please join CSIS and the Sabin Vaccine Institute for a discussion on emerging African leadership in the fight against NTDs, the London Declaration, and how multi-sectorial partnerships are shaping eradication efforts.
