Please join us for a unique series of interregional online meetings, where leading experts will exchange cutting-edge experiences on the adaptation and implementation of WHO’s Multisectoral Accountability Framework to End TB (MAF-TB). The meetings will be held in October and November 2024, with the first meeting taking place on 10 October with the theme: “How to launch and initiate roll-out of MAF-TB in the country: practical recommendations and initial steps from around the world”. The event is organized by the TB Europe Coalition, the World Health Organization (WHO) Global TB Programme and WHO’s Regional Office for Europe.
The online meetings will bring together representatives from ministries, national TB and HIV programs, civil society organizations (CSOs), communities, and other stakeholders from different regions to share their best practices and experiences on various aspects of multisectoral collaboration and accountability in their countries. During the first online meeting, you will explore practical aspects of initiating MAF-TB at the national level, including conducting baseline assessments. The meeting will be held in an interactive format, with opportunities for participants to ask questions, offer feedback, and share their experiences in launching the Multisectoral Accountability Framework and conducting MAF-TB assessments in their respective countries.
