<p>This report presents progress made in 2023–2024 towards the 2030 targets set in&nbsp;<em>Ending the neglect to attain the Sustainable Development Goals: a road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021-2030</em>&nbsp;(the road map), including several important analytical updates:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Progress on all overarching, cross-cutting and disease-specific indicators, milestones and targets.</li>
	<li>Analysis of disease burden in terms of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), prevalence and mortality, as well as numbers of people affected by NTDs, detected and treated.</li>
	<li>New perspectives on the financial risk associated with NTDs, highlighting their impoverishing effects on affected populations.</li>
	<li>A detailed review of four thematic areas – diagnostics, monitoring and evaluation, access and logistics, and advocacy and funding – enabled by the Gap Assessment Tool (GAT).</li>
	<li>Analysis of official development assistance for NTDs in the context of a constrained and evolving financial landscape.</li>
</ul>
