We're moving to BlueSky. This platform's rise in toxicity, political influence, and lack of moderation leading to hate speech has made it unacceptable for us. https://t.co/KLcMBluC5O

An incredible end to the Kigali summit on Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases with Kikundi members coming together to discuss the way forward for the community towards achieving programmatic goals. Thank you to the organizers @jboscombonigaba @phaedrahenley @KabonaGeorge.

Great steps by Zanzibar to kick start efforts to integrate #Malaria and #NTDs Vector control activities. Cross-sector collaboration is a key aspect of sustainability and the right step toward achieving the targets of the @WHO road map 2020-2030.

[NNN @NTD_NGOs]

We are delighted to have welcomed 1,000 delegates to #NNN2021. We close our conference with a few words from the incoming NNN Chair, Arielle Dolegui, who shares her vision for the NTD community towards the #NTDRoadMap2030. #BeatNTDs

[NNN @NTD_NGOs]

The Alma Ata Declaration states that “people have the right to participate in the planning & implementation of their health care”. Listening to communities affected by NTDs is critical to realise this right. Learn more at #NNN2021 workshop 1.5.

[Kikundi @Kikundi_CoP]

Curious about our name and logo? Kikundi is the Kiswahili word for “group,” while the logo is a West African Adinkra symbol signifying togetherness. The name was nominated and voted upon by Program Managers to symbolize collaboration in their work to combat NTDs in Africa.

[Manta Ray Media @MantaRay]

A great initiative raising awareness on #vaccine inequity around the world.

Wish it wasn’t true, but sadly it is. A number of my friends in the game sadly experience this more often than not.

For myself, it’s a daily basis...!
