0NTD

About 0NTD

0NTD is the Global Intelligence & Action Engine for Neglected Tropical Diseases — a platform designed to connect verified data with actionable intelligence to accelerate the elimination of diseases that affect 1.65 billion of the world's most vulnerable people.

Mission

To transform the global response to neglected tropical diseases by providing transparent, data-driven intelligence that enables every stakeholder — from governments and pharmaceutical companies to NGOs and researchers — to see where the gaps are, understand what's needed, and take precise action.

The Problem 0NTD Solves

Fragmented data across WHO, national programs, NGOs, and research institutions
No single platform connecting verified needs with capable partners
Lack of standardized scoring to compare elimination progress across diseases and countries
Pharmaceutical companies unable to see exactly where their donations are most needed
Researchers cannot easily identify the most neglected research opportunities
Governments lack comparative intelligence for resource allocation decisions

Data Governance

0NTD is committed to the highest standards of data integrity and transparency. All data is sourced from authoritative public sources and clearly attributed.

Data Source Transparency Levels

VERIFIED DATADirectly sourced from WHO, national reports, or peer-reviewed publications
PARTNER-REPORTEDSubmitted by implementing partners, pending independent verification
0NTD ESTIMATECalculated using the 0NTD scoring methodology based on available data
AI-GENERATED INSIGHTSynthesized by 0NTD Intelligence from multiple data sources
DATA UNAVAILABLENo reliable data source identified — flagged as a data gap

AI Transparency

0NTD Intelligence uses large language models to synthesize publicly available global health data. The AI assistant is designed to cite sources, acknowledge uncertainty, and never fabricate statistics. All AI-generated insights are clearly labeled and should be verified against original sources before being used for critical decision-making.

Scoring Methodology

The 0NTD Elimination Gap Score™ is a proprietary analytical tool that aggregates 10 weighted factors to produce a 0-100 score indicating progress toward elimination targets.

This is NOT an official WHO metric. It is an 0NTD analytical tool designed to be transparent and configurable.
