OUR MISSION: To advance global thinking and accelerate progress towards disease elimination
GLIDE works to elevate awareness of and engagement with specific diseases of focus – these are malaria, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, and polio. We link disease elimination efforts at global, regional, and national levels with other relevant global health priorities.
Working together with country partners and ministries of health, GLIDE provides technical advice and, capacity building initiatives. We seek to facilitate cross-disease, cross-border, and cross-sector action to help amplify lessons learned and identify synergies to advance elimination.
