Civil society
From 2023 to 2025, we have expanded the ecosystem of organizations combating NTDs.

Affected population
From 2023 to 2025, we have strengthened the participation of persons affected by Neglected Tropical Diseases.

In 2025, we allocated 96,597 euros to this task in Togo. Our interventions reached 835 persons and 41 collectives, promoting more active participation in the defence of the Right to Health and combating NTDs.

Social entrepreneurship
From 2023 to 2025, we have helped to build an entrepreneurial ecosystem committed to NTDs. In Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Togo, 13 social enterprises joined the NTD sector. We mobilized over 390,000 euros to maintain these solutions, and boosted the inclusion of affected persons through employment, training, and awareness.
In 2025, we allocated 218,687 euros to boosting Social Entrepreneurship in West Africa, generating employment, training, and income for affected persons and their communities, contributing to reducing stigma.
CASE STUDY
Knowledge
From 2023 to 2025, we have promoted 46 research projects into NTSDs. More than half of these are led by African institutions, because we believe that knowledge should be generated in the places where those who suffer from these diseases live.
In 2025, we allocated 2.04 million euros to 21 research initiatives in West and Central Africa and to international networks, reaching 101,043 people and generating evidence with which to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Our commitment to the 2030 Agenda
Through every one of our projects we are directly contributing to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals, integrating health, equality, access to water, and the strengthening of public systems, to advance towards fairer and more sustainable development.
SDG 3. Health and wellbeing
The nucleus of our work. We strive to guarantee access to quality health services for persons affected by Neglected Tropical Diseases, strengthening public health systems, promoting research, and bringing prevention, diagnosis, and treatment closer to the most vulnerable communities.
SDG 4. Quality education
We promote the training of healthcare staff, technicians, and community leaders, because knowledge is a key tool for improving health. Training those who are closest to the community allows diseases to be prevented, health systems to be strengthened, and lasting changes to be implemented.
SDG 5. Gender equality
We incorporate gender equality across all our projects, promoting female leadership, participation, and empowerment. Because protecting the Right to Health also means reducing barriers and inequalities, which affect women and girls more than anyone else.
SDG 6. Clean water and sanitation
We promote access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene as essential conditions for health and the prevention of disease. Improving these basic services contributes to creating communities that are more healthy, resilient, and with better development opportunities.
SDG 8. Decent work and economic growth
We support initiatives that encourage economic inclusion and the generation of opportunities, especially for women and vulnerable groups. Because health, financial independence, and community development all advance as one.
SDG 10. Reducing inequalities
We work to ensure that the most vulnerable can exercise their Right to Health and access opportunities on an equal footing. We prioritize those who face the highest barriers so as to contribute to building more inclusive and fairer societies.
