Power the Partnership: End the Neglect

On 25 June 2020, Uniting to Combat Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) will host a high-level, virtual event called Power the Partnership: End the Neglect. This will be preceded by a Power the Youth session hosted by Youth Combating NTDs. Please join us for these highly engaging events that we know you will find inspiring and will strengthen your resolve in fighting these diseases of poverty.

Power the Youth (12.00 - 13.00 BST / 11.00 - 14:00 GMT): By empowering, engaging and supporting young people to help beat neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), Power the Youth aims to galvanise global action toward ending NTDs, which affect over 1.5 billion people. This session will be moderated by Loyiso Madinga and Henry Bonsu and will feature young change makers and leading NTD experts from across the globe.
 

Power the Partnership (14.00 - 16.00 BST / 13:00 - 15:00 GMT): We will celebrate the achievements of the London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) and showcase how NTD interventions are powering progress in SDG 3.

The session will be moderated by Femi Oke and Henry Bonsu. Join us as we hear from those who are at the center of shaping the global neglected tropical disease agenda.
