NTD Mapping ToolAn interactive mapping tool for control ofneglected tropical diseases (NTDs)

For the first time, NTD programme managers and planners can look on one map to find whichdiseases are endemic, what progress has been made to control them, and where co-implementationis possible.

The NTD Mapping Tool is a user-friendly, interactive tool to help plan and implement NTDcontrol activities.

The tool initially contains information on schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminths andtrachoma as well as data on access to improved sanitation and improved water sources.Future releases will include data on lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis.

Objectives:

• To visualize the geographical distribution of NTDs

• To identify priority areas requiring mass drug administration

• To identify areas forco-implementation of control activities

• To visually explore the relationship between NTDs and water and sanitation

• To track progressin NTD control
