The Common African Position (CAP) on Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) is a unified strategic framework that was adopted by the African Union member states to address the significant burden of NTDs on the continent. It outlines a strategic vision to control, eliminate, and eradicate these diseases by 2030, aligning with the global targets set by the World Health Organization. The Common African Position emphasizes a multi-sectoral approach, integrating efforts across health, education, water, sanitation, and hygiene sectors to tackle the root causes of NTDs.
