Hi All,

There are only two days left in the #beatNTDs campaign – let’s make them count!

Yesterday, global partners shared the breakthrough tools that have helped accelerate progress against NTDs. Here are some highlights:

 

?         Sabin Vaccine Institute "Faces of Innovation" photo series with NTD scientists: Scientists share inspiring messages about why they work to develop the tools and research needed to tackle NTDs.

?         London Centre for NTD Research blog post on innovation for NTDs: Learn how data-driven tools are helping to identify where the worms that cause NTDs live – and how to get rid of them.

                                                                                             
Today, we’re celebrating NTDs as a proven global priority and a “best buy” for sustainable development. From improving the lives of women and girls to unlocking the economic potential of entire communities, supporting NTD programs produces one of the best returns on investment. Digital assets to help amplify this message can be found here.

Here are three easy ways to participate today:

 

1. Share this *new* Deutsche Welle interview: NTD expert Professor David Molyneux discusses the impact of the London Declaration and why we’re well-positioned to reach the NTD targets outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals.
2. Tweet today’s #beatNTDs GIF: “An investment in #NTDs is an investment in child #education – that’s why we must #beatNTDs pic.twitter.com/XasJbivFqe”
3. Tweet this data visualization on NTDs and poverty: “@GlobalGoalsUN To achieve the sustainable development goals, we must #beatNTDs pic.twitter.com/J3VnvpUMLG”

 

You can find more in our full toolkit and collection of partner content. Don’t forget to add #beatNTDs to your own posts and follow the conversation!

Best,
Rebecca
