These commitments were made by endemic countries, donors, and private sector partners as a response to a global call for urgent investment to control, eliminate and eradicate NTDs by 2030. The new commitments include funding and drug donations, as well as new endorsements of the Kigali Declaration signed in June 2022 on NTDs – a high-level, political declaration that is mobilising political will, community commitment, resources, and action, and securing commitments needed to end the suffering caused by NTDs.
