The NNN and COR NTD are hosting a series of three meetings titled: Rising to the challenge: A year of programming and research during COVID. The first of these is to be held time on 10 June 2021 (time TBD), with a focus on learning and adapting implementation.

We would like to provide a platform for MoH staff to present their experiences. If you are interested in being one of the six presenters please complete and submit this form by April 30th, 2021. Selection of speakers will be made by the NNN COVID working group the following week.

Criteria for selection of presentations:
1. Showcases experiences in adjusting and adapting NTD programming to challenges posed by COVID-19.
2. Presenter is Health Ministry staff responsible for NTD programs  e.g. NTD program manager, or district health official.
