Continuing our partnership with Novartis begun in 2020, American Leprosy Missions (ALM) offered one $40,000 award as the fifth annual NTD Innovation Prize for a proposal leveraging mapping and GIS approaches to combat neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).
We received 23 abstracts from 12 countries, yielding three finalists. During the closing plenary of the 14th annual NTD NGO Network (NNN) Conference in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, ALM announced the winner: Tine Huyse of the ATRAP initiative.
