Funding loss due to Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) cuts

In the spring of this year, our CDD Well/ DC Bien-Etre project lost its funding due to the cuts for overseas development and research aid made by the UK government. The call to cease activities came as we were training our field work teams. We could not have managed the transition out of this exciting project without the support of our excellent research team from Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, the US, UK and Canada. We continue to want to see this work carried forward as it had so much promise not just for community drug distributors in NTD programs, but also for community health volunteers in other programs.
