Integrated Control of NTDs (DFAT)
ENDFUND provided funding to HANDS through CBM International to support the Federal Government of Nigeria in its effort for the control and elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases in the FCT. The integrated NTD control approach chiefly being the strategy used over the last decade has brought about massive intervention from several donor agencies and effectiveness in handling a number of these NTDs that require similar therapies thereby reducing cost and increasing impactful coverage in treatment. The PC-NTDs targeted for intervention by ENDFUND included Onchocerciasis, Lymphatic Filariasis, Schistosomiasis and Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH). One of the major setbacks of NTDs implementation for 2019 Oncho/LF MAM was the late arrival of donated drugs (Mectizan and Albendazole). This delayed the early commencement of activities in the year under review. However, efforts were made to carry out MAM in December.

As part of the global #16DaysOfActivism campaign, HANDS Nigeria, alongside the Nigerian Air Force Officers' Wives Association, the Medical Women’s Association of Nigeria, and the Fédération Internationale des Avocats, took to the streets to create awareness under the theme: Unite to End Violence Against Women, Girls, Boys, and Men. The march, accompanied by a dynamic group of drummers, was a vibrant and impactful moment. Together, we engaged communities, spread critical messages about the need to eliminate gender-based violence (GBV), and demonstrated the power of collective action in addressing this pressing issue. This event underscores our commitment to fostering a safer, more inclusive society for all. Join us in the fight against GBV and learn more about our initiatives to create lasting change.
