Zusammenfassung:[...]the ubiquity of NTDs in relation to the broader SDG agenda can come to the fore in relation to a greater number of goals and targets, especially those for which strong arguments can be made that NTDs may severely hamper progress: for example, goal 1 (end poverty) or goal 2 (end hunger), or where focusing on NTDs can drive progress towards specific targets, for example, 6.1 (achieve universal and equitable access to safe drinking water), 6.2 (achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all), and 3.8 (achieve UHC). There are a great many potential synergies to be built on, but also a great amount of coordination to be undertaken. [...]there is a risk to be managed as the NTD lobby looks to reconcile the WHO's 2020 goals for the NTD Roadmap with the 2030 timeframe of the SDGs [18].
