The NTD Mapping Tool 2.0 is a user-friendly interactive tool to help plan and implement NTD control activities.This new version offers offline functionality and uses Google technology to increase your mapping possibilities.

NTD program managers and planners can customize one map to highlight which diseases are endemic, whatprogress has been made to control them, and where co-implementation is possible.

The tool contains information on lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminths andtrachoma, as well as data on access to improved sanitation and improved water sources.

Objectives:

• To visualize the geographical distribution of NTDs

• To identify priority areas requiring mass drug administration
