To address morbidity and disability caused by blinding trachoma and LF, USAID through its NTD Program seeks to award a five-year, $35 million Cooperative Agreement to support countries to increase access to morbidity management and disability prevention (MMDP) services for blinding trachoma and LF. This activity will provide USAID, the Bureau for Global Health (GH), and the NTD Program with assistance to strengthen MMDP components within national NTD plans and achieve elimination goals for blinding trachoma in countries already supported by USAID’s NTD Program. This activity will assist countries in planning, implementing, and monitoring the scale-up of high-quality treatment and care services for affected individuals.
