To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent assessment she has made of (a) the effectiveness of her Department’s Accelerating the sustainable control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases programme and (b) the impact of ending that programme; and what plans she has for future support for neglected tropical diseases programmes.
The effectiveness of the Accelerating the Sustainable Control and Elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases programme has recently been assessed in the Programme Completion Review. The programme scored A+, moderately exceeding expectations. The full results of the programme, including comparisons to original targets prior to the programme closure, will be published on the government development tracker (https://devtracker.fcdo.gov.uk) by March 2022. UK support has reached hundreds of millions of people with preventative treatments and care for NTDs. We continue to invest in strengthening the health systems of countries affected by NTDs, and through our investments in research and development.
