Key Messages NTDs are a massive but solvable global health challenge. Over one billion peopleworldwide are affected by NTDs. These diseases are preventable, treatable, andincreasingly being eliminated – yet NTDs remain one of the most underfunded areasof global health. Proven, low cost tools existto prevent and treat NTDs.These interventions arecost-effective to deliver and scalable – making NTDs one of the smartest and mostsolvable health investments. Progress is real, measurable and unprecedented.To date,fifty-eight countries haveeliminated at least one NTD, showing that sustained commitment and resourcesdeliver tangible and historic results. Investing in NTDs delivers extraordinary returns.Every US$1 invested in preventivechemotherapy for NTDs generates approximately US$25 in economic benefits foraffected communities.. Ending NTDs builds a safer and more resilient world for everyone.Sustainedinvestment in NTDs has compounding benefits – it strengthens global healthsecurity, creates healthier and more equitable communities, drives strongereconomies and creates safer, more stable societies. Domestic ownership andfinancing of NTD programs are crucial, and increasing,laying the foundation for long-term sustainability. Investing in better tools, systems,approaches and partnerships helps countries move closer towards independencefrom external aid. Sustained political andfinancial commitment is urgently needed.Two decades ofprogress are now at risk from cuts to foreign aid, global conflict, and climate change.To achieve global NTD goals, we must protect existing commitments, secure newcommitments, unlock innovativefinancing and implement new approaches – withendemic countries leading the way. The cost of inaction is staggering.NTDs drain an estimated US$33 billion fromfamilies and communities in lost wages and out-of-pocket expenses alone each year– trapping communities in cycles of poverty and hindering development. Messaging sub-themes Country leadership and sustainable domestic action. Progress against NTDs to date has been driven by strong country leadership andnational commitment. Sustained prioritisation of NTDs within national plans andbudgets — alongside increased domesticfinancing — is more critical than ever toprotect gains and keep elimination on track. Integrated approaches tofighting NTDs. NTDs cannot be addressed through vertical efforts alone. Integrating NTDprevention, diagnosis, treatment and care into primary health care, UHC, WASH,education, and other essential services strengthens health systems and expandsaccess. Partners should use World NTD Day to advocate for practical, well-resourcedintegration that protects existing gains while reaching underserved communities. Elevating community voices and lived experiences. People affected by NTDs must be at the centre of elimination efforts. Meaningfulinclusion of community voices, lived experience, and disability perspectives leads tomore effective, dignified, and sustainable programmes. World NTD Day 2026 shouldelevate these perspectives and shift the narrative to people-centred impact andaccountability. Expanding partnerships and collective action in a changing world. Climate change, conflict, and economic instability are reshaping NTD risk andresponse. Addressing these challenges requires coordinated action across health,climate, humanitarian, water, education, and development sectors. World NTD Day isan opportunity to strengthen cross-sector partnerships, engage new actors, and mobilise collective action to protect progress in an increasingly complex globallandscape. Calls to Action Protect existing commitments.Safeguard two decades of progress byacknowledging and increasing donor support, the vital role of drug donationprogrammes, and the political will that has enabled historic achievements. Secure new pledges and leadership.Call on donor and endemic countries tocommit fresh resources, endorse and implement the Kigali Declaration, and embedNTDs in national development and health plans and budgets. Invest in innovation.Champion investment in the development and uptake of newtools, diagnostics, treatments, and delivery models that can close persistent gapsand make elimination more efficient and cost-effective. Integrate and strengthen systems.Advocate for NTD interventions to beembedded into universal health care and primary health care, and integrated withinWASH, education, and other sect
