The WHO global task force on tuberculosis impact measurement - brochure
June 2025
Overview
The Global Tuberculosis Programme (GTB) in the World Health Organization (WHO) established a Global Task Force on TB Impact Measurement in 2006.
The TB monitoring, evaluation and strategic information (TME) unit in GTB is the secretariat.
The Task Force brings together experts in TB epidemiology, statistics and modelling, representatives from national TB programmes and ministries of health, and people from major technical and financial agencies. More than 30 meetings and workshops have been held since its inception.
The initial aim of the Task Force was to ensure that WHO’s assessment of whether the 2015 global TB targets for reductions in TB disease burden were achieved was rigorous, robust and consensus-based. Following publication of this assessment in the 2015 Global TB Report, and in the context of the WHO End TB Strategy (2016–2035) and the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (2016–2030), the Task Force updated its purpose and strategic areas of work for the post-2015 period.
Each year, WHO publishes a brochure that provides an overview of the Task Force’s work. The latest edition is from June 2025.
