COUNTDOWN continues to produce high quality, varied and impactful research outputs including journal articles, working papers, policy briefs, blogs, learning aids and guidelines for NTD research and implementation. COUNTDOWN has been successful in actively communicating research and working proactively and collaboratively with policy makers and country implementers at country level to encourage research uptake. Championing evidence is at the heart of what we do- mobilizing knowledge strengthens individual capacities, extends networks and build relationships.
