APHA session: Disparities and Inequities in Global Health
Presentation: Facilitating Multisectoral Coordination and Engagement for Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) Sustainability: From Concept to Implementation
This poster presentation will highlight the consultation process of USAID's Act to End NTDs | West sustainability approach in prioritizing multisectoral coordination to achieve NTD sustainability milestones. To sustain and accelerate progress made in the control and elimination of neglected tropical disease (NTDs), national NTD programs (NTDPs) must be integrated and mainstreamed into existing health platforms, systems, and infrastructure. Multisectoral coordination within and beyond the health sector contributes to the sustainability of health programs, improves cost-effectiveness, and expands geographical reach.

APHA session: Innovations and Solutions in Global and International Health
Presentation: Strengthening Data Security Policies and Practices in Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) Programs
As national governments across West Africa begin to adopt national data strategies, Ministries of Health often do not have formal data security policies in place to secure the protected health information of their patients. For Neglected Tropical Disease Programs (NTDPs), data is often stored on unsecure Excel sheets or on personal devices of health staff. This poster presentation will explore the security policies needed to protect the PHI of patients served by NTDPs. USAID’s Act to End NTDs | West program and NTDPs in 11 West and Central African countries created a four-step methodology to research, develop, adopt, and monitor data security procedures for NTDPs.

APHA session: Decolonizing Global Health and Effects of Global Capitalism
Presentation: Accelerating Neglected Tropical Diseases 2030 Targets Achievement Through Paradigm Shifts in Country Ownership
This poster presentation will focus on USAID's Act to End NTDs | West process of the NTD sustainability approach in strengthening country ownership to achieve sustainability milestones. The World Health Organization Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) Road Map identifies country ownership as a strategic pillar to achieving the 2030 control and elimination targets. Increased country ownership is essential to advance the sustainability of NTD programs (NTDPs), strengthen capacities across health systems, and ensure the delivery of comprehensive NTD interventions.

APHA session: Global Health Actors‚ Agenda‚ and Practice 2
Presentation: Dynamic and Adaptive Technical Assistance: Moving Beyond Supporting National Health Systems to Strengthening National Health Systems to Ensure the Sustainability of Neglected Tropical Disease Programs
This session will focus on the USAID Act to End NTDs | West process of adapting technical assistance to foster country-owned and led programs. As countries advance towards neglected tropical disease (NTD) elimination and control targets, sustaining progress requires partners to adapt technical assistance, moving beyond strengthening disease-specific programs and service delivery, to supporting national ownership, enabling efforts to systematically integrate NTDs into national systems.
