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.

项目概要 拟议的项目将在非洲南部优先国家实施。优先级是 基于美国国际开发署的目标国家名单，但项目国家的最终选择将完成 与疾病预防控制中心合作。 该项目旨在加强国家对被忽视的热带病的控制计划 （NTD）以各种方式。首先，我们将加强公共卫生行动的证据基础 通过开展业务研究，重点关注 NTD 控制的各个方面， 消除，包括新疗法和诊断工具。其次，我们将支持员工 国家 NTD 计划将通过促进新疗法和诊断工具的使用 出席相关会议，并访问模范国家，学习和分享经验。 最后，从运筹学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 指导未来规划和行动的政策。 该项目的预期总体成果是降低 NTD 的发病率和死亡率， 主要在非洲，但在整个世界。
