Global youth movement to end TB

Overview

In 2019, the World Health Organization launched a new initiative called 1+1 on the occasion of World TB Day. The initiative aims at advancing engagement with young people, and amplifying their voices to end TB. Youth can have a multiplier effect in the fight to end TB, to accelerate progress towards reaching the ambitious 2022 targets of the UN high-level meeting on ending TB, as well as the larger goal of ending TB by 2030, as included in the WHO End TB Strategy and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs).
