Mission and strategy

Our mission

To improve the lives of individuals and communities affected by podoconiosis by bringing together public and private partnerships to accelerate treatment and prevention.

Our strategy

Footwork draws on world-leading research to unite and mobilise partners around three key areas of action:

  • Improving lives: Ensure universal access to interventions that improve the lives of individuals and communities affected by podoconiosis.

  • Bringing people together: Strengthen coordination, collaboration and shared learning among national, regional and global stakeholders.

  • Evidence-based advocacy: Use robust evidence to drive advocacy that accelerates the adoption and scale-up of effective treatment and prevention measures.

By doing so, we believe that, together, we can achieve a number of important goals by 2031.
