The overall objective of the TB Europe Coalition is to build the advocacy capacity of civil society organisations (CSOs) throughout the WHO EUROPE region in order to create a legitimate network of European TB advocates that can leverage the necessary political and financial commitment for TB care, control and cure at regional and in-country level.
We have four specific objectives:
- To reinforce TBEC regional advocacy and build advocacy capacity of Eastern Europe and Central Asian CSOs;
- To ensure that the WHO MDR-TB Action Plan is implemented at regional and national levels;
- To ensure sustained levels of EU funding for TB both globally and with the EECA;
- To increase EU funds going to research into poverty-related and neglected diseases and improve access to new tools in the WHO European Region.
