NNN conference learnings
The NTD Inclusion Score Card (NISC) Launch/Unveiling – A tool for leadership and accountability to enhance inclusion and meaningful participation of persons affected by NTDs in NGOs.
The session took participants through the NISC development process, from concept inception to the delivery of the final product – the NISC assessment tool. Details on the From Words to Action project, including funding, aims, outcome and impact was shared with workshop participants. The main learning outcome of the session is that real action needs to be taken to ensure inclusion and meaningful participation of persons affected by NTDs in policy and decision-making processes. The NISC as a tool enables this process. However, courageous change managers are required to drive this process within NTD NGOs.
You can download the NISC tool here.
The Leprosy Working Group Session on Integrated Capacity Strengthening "Experience and evidence building on effective innovative Integrated Capacity Strengthening (ICS).
The session around ICS aimed at taking stock of what we do, what we know, and what we still have to work on. An interactive map was launched that shows ongoing ICS initiatives.Key learning outcomes were: 1. There currently is a lack of integrated training materials at global and local levels, and there are different training needs in different countries.2. For successful planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of ICS there is a need for country ownership and broad participation. 3. ICS requires intensive advocacy and lobbying, and joint proposal writing to foster a cultural shift to channel resources from one NTD to multiple NTDs; 4. Multi-language is key in order to enhance accessibility and contextualization of ICS resources.
