USAID's NTD Program
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) – Interagency Agreement
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is a U.S. agency dedicated to creating the expertise, information, and tools that people and communities need to protect their health – through health promotion; prevention of disease, injury, and disability; and preparedness for new health threats. CDC seeks to accomplish its mission by working with partners throughout the United States and the world to monitor health, detect and investigate health problems, conduct research to enhance prevention, develop and advocate sound public health policies, implement prevention strategies, promote healthy behaviors, foster safe and healthful environments, and provide leadership and training. Through an interagency agreement, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and CDC work together on research, training, and monitoring and evaluation to reduce neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) globally.
