“…The purpose of the consultancy is to analyze the social determinants of health associated with neglected infectious diseases (NIDs) (i.e. living conditions, cultural factors, etc.), as well as possible key interventions to mitigate them in order to reduce the burden of selected NIDs that can be targeted through mass drug administration (MDA)—i.e. onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminthiasis, and trachoma—as well as other diseases that could be part of an integrated plan, including Chagas disease, rabies transmitted by dogs, plague, leprosy, leishmaniasis, and congenital syphilis, among others.
