About us
InfoNTD is an online platform that shares information, publications and tools on cross-cutting issues in neglected tropical diseases. It is essential for health professionals and researchers in the NTD field to cooperate and share knowledge. However, information about cross-cutting issues in NTDs used to be dispersed across many (online) channels. The urgent need for an up-to-date and centralized information platform led to the set-up of InfoNTD, initiated by NLR and American Leprosy Missions.
InfoNTD is managed by NLR and housed in the NLR International Office in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Our mission
To enable capacity strengthening for researchers, programme managers, M&E officers, policy makers, health professionals and others working in the field of NTDs by making knowledge, information and tools easily accessible.
We offer a sharing platform
