A ROADMAP<br />
OF TARGETS<br />
87<br />
To better coordinate the involvement of partners and<br />
to strengthen links between the private sector and<br />
governments, a meeting on Partners for NTDs was<br />
organized by WHO in 2010.<br />
One of the main achievements of the meeting<br />
was that all partners and countries requested WHO’s<br />
Director-General to prepare a roadmap marking targets<br />
to be achieved against the diseases. The roadmap<br />
involves WHO and all participating stakeholders,<br />
governments, pharmaceutical firms, foundations and<br />
NGOs.<br />
The WHO roadmap on NTDs was presented in<br />
London in January 2012 and represents the basis on<br />
which all partners are committed. The stakeholders<br />
endorsed it at a series of events.<br />
