Book Description

The results report of the UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) is produced by its secretariat every year to document the progression on indicators related to three overarching categories: technical expected results, application of organizational core values and managerial performance. The outputs and outcomes which are aligned with the strategic plans of TDR’s co-sponsors, contribute to health impact, measured through the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals and the World Health Organization’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work triple billion targets. The report for 2023 marks the final year of the 2018-2023 strategy, which allows to reflect on how the Programme has delivered on its commitments over the entire period. Following the executive summary (section 1), the report summarizes the progress made on key performance indicators (section 2) and provides a qualitative description of what was done and the partnerships and contributions that made the achievement possible (section 3). Section 4 reports on how TDR has applied core values, section 5 on TDRs management performance and section 6 concludes with lessons learnt. Annexes include detailed information including the list of TDR-supported peer-reviewed publications (Annex 1), and the estimated resources leveraged in 2022 - 2023 (Annex 3).
