Joint Statement of Community, Developing Country and Developed Country NGO Delegations
Political declaration of the High-Level Meeting of the General Assembly on the Fight Against Tuberculosis : resolution / adopted by the General Assembly
On 26 September, 2018, the first ever UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on Tuberculosis assembled in New York. The meeting resulted in the adoption of a Political Declaration on Tuberculosis, which reaffirmed commitment to end the tuberculosis epidemic globally by 2030 and included ambitious and bold targets for scale-up of tuberculosis care and prevention services, as well as commitments on research for new tools, principles of equity and human rights, and resource needs targets for both implementation and research.
Global Tuberculosis Report 2021
Each year, the WHO Global TB Report provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the TB epidemic, and of progress in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease, at global, regional and country levels. This is done in the context of global TB commitments, strategies and targets.
The 2021 edition of the report has been produced in a new and more web-centric format. This is designed to make the content available in smaller (more “bite-sized”) chunks that are easier to read, digest, navigate and use. There is a short and slim report PDF with 30 pages of main content plus six short annexes. This is accompanied by expanded and more detailed digital content on web pages. The total amount of content remains similar to that of previous years.
Please note that direct comparisons between estimates of TB disease burden in the latest report and previous reports are not appropriate. The most recent time-series of estimates are published in this global TB report.
Declaration of the Right of People Affecred By Tuberculosis
Declaration of the Rights of People Affected by TB was developed by TBpeople Global with the support from the Stop TB Partnership and USAID through a participatory process, which involved numerous regional and global consultations and was supported by leading human rights lawyers Brian Citro, Allan Maleche and Timur Abdullaev. For the first time, the rights of people affected by TB that are enshrined in existing global and regional human rights laws are listed in one declaration alongside an explanation of their relevance for people affected by TB. This innovative declaration aims to inform and empower people and communities affected by TB to be able to claim and protect their right to a life free from TB and when necessary to ensure equitable access to quality TB prevention, diagnosis and treatment, free from stigma and discrimination. The declaration also seeks to ensure that governments and other service providers are aware of their commitments and obligations to protect and promote the rights of people affected by TB.

Global Plan to End TB 2023-2030
The Global Plan to End TB, 2023–2030 is a plan for ending tuberculosis as a public health challenge by 2030—the year by which governments around the world have committed to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This document provides the most detailed costing estimates of any Global Plan to date and builds on the previous edition, Paradigm Shift, which laid out priority actions for 2018–2022 informed by global commitments endorsed by Member States at the 2018 UN High-Level Meeting on TB.
The Impact of COVID-19 on the TB epidemic: A community perspective
Tuberculosis is the world’s leading infectious disease killing around 1.5 million people each year. In response to early warnings of COVID-19 having devastating impacts on people affected by TB and TB programs around the world, 10 diverse global networks quickly came together to take action. A survey collecting voices from the ground affected by TB was launched on May 26, 2020. Separate questions and findings were collected for people with TB, frontline healthcare workers, program and policy officers, TB researchers, and TB advocates. Findings present lived experiences, lessons learned, advocacy recommendations, and opportunities for mitigating the damage done by COVID-19 to get countries back on track to achieving elimination targets, as well as building back better to end TB.
