NNN is a global forum for NGOs to contribute to the global control, elimination, and management of consequences of NTDs outlined within the internationally agreed World Health Organisation NTD Roadmap. 

NTDs are a group of treatable and preventable diseases that continue to affect over one billion of the world's most impoverished, marginalized people living in remote communities. Non-governmental organisations play a key role in the fight against these diseases, they share common strategies including community-based health interventions that can be integrated to strengthen health care systems. 

NNN was established in October 2009 to create a global forum for non-governmental organisations working to control onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis, soil transmitted helminths, and trachoma. Many other diseases including leprosy and podoconiosis have since joined the forum. You can read about all WHO recognised NTD diseases here.

Our vision is a world free of NTDs.

Our purpose is to enhance the contribution of NGOs towards that vision. 

Our objectives:

To be the unified NGO voice on common issues to achieve our NTD goals. 
To enhance our community of practice through membership engagement, learning and sharing knowledge. 
Our values of participation, legitimacy, creativity and independence guide our NNN community in achieving these objectives. 

Our membership is open to any NGO, academic institution or network that is engaged in the fight against NTDs. Other organisations are welcome to join our work as active observers.
