This interactive App is based on the new road map for neglected tropical diseases: Ending the neglect to attain the Sustainable Development Goals: a road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021–2030. The road map was prepared through an extensive global consultative process pursuant to decision EB146(9) of the World Health Organization’s Executive Board at its 146th session in February 2020 that culminated in its endorsement by the Seventy third World Health Assembly in November 2020. The App reproduces the global targets and milestones to prevent, control, eliminate and eradicate 20 diseases and disease groups, as well as cross-cutting targets aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and the three foundational pillars of the road map. This people-centred, country-driven, impact-oriented blueprint will support global efforts to achieve the targets by accelerating programmatic action (pillar 1), intensifying cross-cutting approaches (pillar 2) and changing operating models and culture to facilitate country ownership (pillar 3). The road map aims to renew momentum through concrete actions within integrated platforms for delivery of interventions, and thereby to improve the cost–effectiveness, coverage and geographical reach of programmes. Strengthening the capacity of national health systems will ensure delivery of interventions through existing infrastructures, improve the sustainability and efficiency of interventions and ensure that patients have equitable access to all aspects of treatment, care and support. Close coordination and multisectoral action within and beyond the health sector, encompassing not only vector control, water and sanitation, animal and environmental health and health education, but also, for instance, education and disability, will maximize synergies. The App includes the disease summaries that are annexed to the road map document, which detail the current epidemiological status and burden of disease, core strategic interventions and progress towards the 2020 targets of the previous road map. The targets, sub-targets and milestones for 2030, and the critical actions required to achieve them, were used to generate the evidence in the road map document endorsed by the World Health Assembly. The App allows users to make PDF files for prints of any selected disease. It also permits users to select any country of interest in order to visualize the occurrence of specific diseases and, accordingly, the measures needed to be taken in that country. Links are provided to various online resources to keep users updated. Users can also send feedback to the World Health Organization. Financial contributions were made by the Federal Ministry of Health of Germany and the United States Agency for International Development for the development of this App.
