DNDi participated at ECOSOC’s Innovation Fair at the High-Level Segment meeting, which took place in Geneva. This meeting and all the “satellite” activities presented good opportunities to discuss research & development issues, especially in the neglected diseases sector. DNDi had a booth at ECOSOC’s Innovation Fair and made a presentation about the Leishmaniasis East Africa Platform (LEAP), which is active in capacity building (infrastructure and training) and in conducting clinical trials in Kenya, Sudan, Ethiopia and in Uganda.
