The objective of this manuscript is to provide selective examples of the work of the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Parasite Epidemiology and Control which contribute to the WHO goal of eliminating neglected tropical diseases by 2030. This PAHO/WHO CC specifically aligns its activities with the Sustainable Development Goals and with the goals outlined in the WHO Road Map for Neglected Tropical Diseases 2021-2030. Its role is to contribute to advancing global action on NTDs, primarily through policy development and knowledge translation. Three important projects have recently been completed: 1. Finalizing the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for the NTD Road Map (published May 2021; this PAHO/WHO CC was a member of the working group); 2. Developing new guidelines for the preventive chemotherapy of taeniasis (published September 2021; this PAHO/WHO CC was co-Chair; and 3. Formulating a policy brief on deworming for adolescent girls and women of reproductive age (published January 2022; this PAHO/WHO CC is co-lead). These projects are the result of the integration of expertise and experience from multiple partners, including from PAHO and WHO (where both organizations provided key leadership), this PAHO/WHO CC, government ministries, civil society organizations and universities, among others. In conclusion, this PAHO/WHO CC contributes timely guidance to country-led evidence-informed public health policy, to cost-effective program implementation and to the identification of priority research topics - all focused, ultimately, on eliminating NTD-attributable morbidity by 2030.
本手稿的目的是提供泛美卫生组织/世界卫生组织（PAHO/WHO）寄生虫流行病学与控制研究和培训合作中心工作的一些精选实例，这些实例有助于实现世界卫生组织到2030年消除被忽视热带病的目标。该PAHO/WHO合作中心具体将其活动与可持续发展目标以及《2021 - 2030年世界卫生组织被忽视热带病路线图》中概述的目标保持一致。其作用主要是通过政策制定和知识转化，为推进全球被忽视热带病行动做出贡献。最近完成了三个重要项目：1. 敲定《被忽视热带病路线图监测与评估框架》（2021年5月发布；该PAHO/WHO合作中心是工作组成员）；2. 制定绦虫病预防性化疗新指南（2021年9月发布；该PAHO/WHO合作中心是联合主席）；3. 编写关于为青春期女孩和育龄妇女驱虫的政策简报（2022年1月发布；该PAHO/WHO合作中心是共同牵头方）。这些项目是多个合作伙伴专业知识和经验整合的成果，合作伙伴包括PAHO和WHO（这两个组织发挥了关键领导作用）、该PAHO/WHO合作中心、政府部委、民间社会组织和大学等。总之，该PAHO/WHO合作中心为国家主导的循证公共卫生政策、具有成本效益的项目实施以及确定优先研究课题提供了及时指导，所有这些最终都聚焦于到2030年消除由被忽视热带病导致的发病率。
