The WHO Global strategy on human resources for health: workforce 2030 encourages development partners and global health initiatives to leverage their support to health systems in countries to sustainably strengthen the health workforce. To assess the impact of these investments, a methodology was developed and pilot tested by WHO.

Over the last 20 years the Global Fund partnership has saved 44 million lives and reduced the annual death toll from HIV, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria (HTM) by 46% since its peak in countries where the Global Fund invests. We, the Global Fund partnership of implementer governments, civil society, technical partners, development partners, the private sector and people and communities affected by the three diseases, have proven that by acting together we can overcome barriers, save lives and dramatically change the course of these three terrible pandemics.

Almost half of the deaths worldwide caused by TB in 2019 occurred in the WHO South-East Asia Region, home to around a quarter of the global population. Maintaining robust progress in this Region is therefore essential if the global goal of ending the TB epidemic is to be realized. Despite substantial gains made in the Region, the threat to health worldwide posed by the COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to reverse these gains and eclipse the focus on the global TB emergency.
While continuing to tackle COVID-19-related challenges, countries will need to rapidly and urgently deploy supplementary measures to address the large numbers of missed cases, poor treatment outcomes and, potentially, a higher TB burden.
The Regional Strategic Plan towards Ending TB in the Region 2021–2025 clearly articulates priority interventions, analyses the challenges, bottlenecks and opportunities, and focuses on implementation considerations in the Region.

This guide is a joint effort of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the World Health Organization (WHO). It includes new strategic approaches, guidance and innovations for TB prevention and care interventions in humanitarian settings. The guide focuses primarily on managerial/organizational aspects of TB interventions, and provides links to the most updated references for the clinical aspects

The aim of the 2030 Framework is to provide the basis (reasoning) and concepts for multisectoral actions that countries can adapt to their context and implement with all stakeholders to achieve the targets of the End TB Strategy by 2030.
The target audience for the Regional Framework is all those with an interest in the promotion of TB prevention, control and care, including: ministries or departments of health (TB and non-TB); industry; the commerce, education and environment sectors; social sciences; health-care workers in the public and private sectors; civil society; and TB-affected communities. This Framework is applicable for all countries of the Western Pacific Region; however, priorities may differ in different countries based on their specific TB situation.

Existing inequities have been widely acknowledged as barriers to achieving global and national goals and targets in HIV, TB and malaria programmes. These inequities have become even more pressing amidst the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, the magnitude and extent of health inequalities remain poorly documented and understood. This is the first monitoring report devoted to systematically assessing the global state of inequality in the three diseases, quantifying the latest situation of inequalities within countries and change over time. The report is timely due to the renewed emphasis on equity in prominent global initiatives and plans, including the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and global strategies to end AIDS, TB and malaria.

This compendium is designed to help National TB Programmes (NTPs) to make best use of the available tools for policy, planning and programmatic action. The document summarizes information about the key tools related to data and evidence that are available for use in TB planning and programming, and how they can be applied. The tools that are profiled are described in terms of how they fit within the People-centred framework for tuberculosis programme planning and prioritization.
Together with the people-centred framework, this compendium aims to enable better use of data and evidence for TB programme planning at both the national and subnational levels. It is designed to help NTPs and their national stakeholders to understand how and when different data and evidence-related tools could be used.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has published a global TB report every year since 1997. The purpose of the report is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the status of the TB epidemic and progress in the response at global, regional and national levels, in the context of global commitments, strategies and targets.
The 2020 report included a provisional assessment of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on TB services, TB disease burden and progress towards targets. This 2021 edition provides updated, more definitive and more wide-ranging results.
