Task Force for Global Health This project aims to create a permanent resource to help Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) organisations to incorporate compatible Neglected Tropical Disease control activities into existing WASH programming. The project intends to increase the knowledge base within the WASH sector, and among WASH practitioners and governments regarding trachoma, the soil transmitted helminths (STH) and other NTDs. Increased information will allow WASH organisations to directly incorporate compatible NTD control activities into existing WASH programmes, as well as potentially target endemic areas as priority sites for WASH programmes. Joint monitoring tools are expected to help WASH organisations establish links between WASH improvements and the reduction of trachoma and other NTDs. Advocacy tools will also allow WASH organisations to petition governments for increased funding for the WASH sector based on health-related impacts, as well as increased coordination mechanisms between the Health and water-related government sectors.
