TB Europe Coalition publication: Why is the multisectoral accountability framework to end TB (MAF-TB) so important in the fight against TB and what audiences should be engaged in its launch?

The TB Europe Coalition released a brochure aiming to inform the National TB Programs, civil society organizations, TB-affected community, and stakeholders about the three assessment tools in the field of TB developed by the Stop TB Partnership in relation to TB stigma, gender-related and service-related barriers.

The brochure provides a brief overview of up-to-date prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of TB based on human rights, high ethical standards, and a people-centered approach.

On 13 December 2021, the TB Europe Coalition will conduct an interactive webinar on parliamentary engagement and EU advocacy. TB survivors/patients and people living with HIV are particularly encouraged to participate.

The TB Europe Coalition releases a new guide for affected community, civil society organizations, National TB Programs and policy makers in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

The TB Europe Coalition releases a new document, aiming to assist TB civil society organizations and community organizations from EECA countries in influencing national monitoring, data collection and accountability systems.

A newly released policy brief is meant to help better understand the UN Common Position on Ending HIV, TB and Viral Hepatitis through Intersectoral Collaboration, and to present the best practices of civil society for integrated response on TB, HIV and viral hepatitis.

On the occasion of the third anniversary of the first-ever UN High-Level Meeting on TB, 26 September, the TB Europe Coalition issued a statement underling the value of civil society and TB affected communities role in the TB response and calling on governments to create a favorable environment for their meaningful engagement.

The TB Europe Coalition developed a booklet 'Multisectoral accountability framework to accelerate progress to end TB (MAF-TB). The political will at the national level is the key to fulfilling the global commitments' to support civil society and TB affected communities in understanding the global policy background, objectives, and milestones of the implementation of MAF-TB.
