Overview
This guidance was developed based on a template provided to health programmes by the WHO Division
of Data, Analytics and Delivery for Impact. WHO regional advisers and disease focal points in the WHO
Global Neglected Tropical Diseases Programme provided technical content in alignment with the road
map. A drafting team comprising WHO technical officers and BU disease experts working on skin NTDs at
global, regional and country levels contributed to the writing and review of initial drafts of the document.
Independent BU experts and selected national programme managers from BU-endemic countries reviewed
the guidance for technical accuracy and relevance.
