Leaving no one behind in NTD programmes: lessons from implementing a risk assessment tool.

ABSTRACT: Sightsavers is committed to a 'leave no one behind' approach, recognising that marginalised communities are at greater risk of being excluded from neglected tropical disease interventions. In this article we reflect on the rollout of a Leave No One Behind risk assessment tool across various contexts. We highlight lessons learned from implementation and share findings, including a use case from Cameroon's East Region. We conclude that actions generated from the tool lead to positive programme outcomes for marginalised populations. Such approaches are needed if countries are to progress towards disease control and elimination.
