The Global Leprosy Programme (GLP) has set up since 2008 a surveillance network to ensure information related to resistance to antimicrobials used for the treatment of leprosy is collected at the global level. Representatives of the network, composed of reference and national laboratories, meet bi-annually to review results and plan the work ahead. The meetings were funded since 2011 by the American leprosy Missions (ALM) and the Fondation Raoul Follereau (FRF), both members of the International Federation of Anti-Leprosy Associations (ILEP), while GLP was in charge of the workshop, technical agenda and its logistics related to the invitations of government representatives.
