How well country Tuberculosis (TB) responses are governed?

To answer this question the Stop TB Partnership and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) had  launched an assessment and published a report in June 2021. In May 2023 the second report of assessment of governance practices in 18 countries was published. These reports are first of their kind that assess the governance of national TB responses in high burden countries.

These assessment reports are envisioned to support and strengthen the performance of national-level action against TB, one of the world´s oldest and deadliest infectious diseases. They assess the national TB program performance in four thematic areas: transparency, inclusiveness, legal framework, and process efficiency and effectiveness. Under each theme, the national TB program is measured against five ambitious benchmarks.
