With @WHOAFRO & @CanGive support, The Gambia validated the AVoHC-SURGE Flagship Roadmap, with approximately $12M resource mobilization & advocacy tool focused on PROSE, TASS & SURGE.

Very saddened by the news about the passing of President Jimmy Carter.
His work through the @CarterCenter contributed hugely to the #elimination & #control of #NTDs in Africa.
President Carter’s unwavering commitment to #GuineaWorm eradication leaves a huge legacy - freeing millions from the burden of #disease, improving livelihoods, & reducing #inequality.
We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that his vision of a world without NTDs becomes a reality.
