International Coalition for Trachoma Control

The International Coalition for Trachoma Control (ICTC) is a coalition of non‐governmental, donor, private sector and academic organizations working together to support the WHO Alliance for the Global Elimination of Trachoma by 2020 (GET2020 Alliance). ICTC was established in 2004 to contribute to global efforts to eliminate trachoma by supporting the GET2020 Alliance and to advocate for and implement the WHO-endorsed SAFE strategy. The coalition has a highly committed and professional multi-stakeholder membership, including NGOs, research and academic institutions, donors and private sector organizations. ICTC members believe we can achieve more together as a group than if we were working as individual organizations. Observers include the World Health Organization (WHO), pharmaceutical, other private sector stakeholders and institutional and philanthropic funders. Membership is free to members and observers, who demonstrate a common commitment to accomplishing GET2020 objectives. The coalition’s approach is aligned Ending the neglect to attain the Sustainable Development Goals: a road map for neglected tropical diseases 2021-2030, which outlines what needs to be done to scale up programs and strengthen health systems to achieve the global elimination of trachoma by the year 2030.
