Course overview: Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) continue to cause hardship and harm to over one billion people worldwide, burdening individuals, families and communities who are already marginalized and disadvantaged. Taking a One Health approach that recognizes the relationship between human, animal, and environmental health is key to sustainably addressing NTDs.

This course through the six learning modules provides information and practical guidance on how to apply One Health action to NTDs, by presenting some of the most common challenges, but also examples of how to successfully overcome them through a transdisciplinary, cross-cutting, and whole-of-society approach.

The target audience of this course is everybody concerned about health issues at the human-animal-environmental interface and, in particular, program managers and anybody else (such as NGOs) involved in NTDs or One Health-related activity at the international, national, and local levels.
