UPLIFT – Unlocking the Potential of Leprosy and NTD affected people to pursue Inclusive, Fulfilling and Transformational lives through a harmonized Community Based Group (CBG) model
Country: Global
Location(s): India (Jamui); Bangladesh (Sirajganj, Pabna and Natore); Ethiopia (West Hararge, West-Arsi, Ilubabor and Jima)
The project will develop an operational, harmonized and scalable model for CBGs of people affected by leprosy and other disabling NTDs. This innovative model will integrate preferred self-care/self-support/self-help practices, as well as other activities addressing the existing structural, behavioural, psychosocial, and mental health theories through a comprehensive consultation process with ILEP members, local NGOs, government stakeholders and, most importantly, people affected by leprosy and other NTDs themselves.
