Title: Reaching a Billion - Fifth progress report on the London Declaration on NTDs
Description: Reaching a Billion is the 5th Progress Report of the London Declaration on NTDs written by Uniting to Combat NTDs.

When the London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases was signed in 2012 by a diverse group of partners, one sentiment was universal:

With a collaborative global effort, we can defeat these debilitating diseases of poverty and underdevelopment.

Five years later, this strong partnership has now reached over a billion people in a single year, making remarkable strides towards achieving the WHO goals for the control, elimination and eradication of 10 NTDs.
