WHO hosted a meeting of the WHO Strategic and Technical Advisory Committee on HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STAC-HHS) on 21–23 September 2021 - online.
This STAC-HHS meeting was held to provide advice in response to the first full draft of the strategies. The STAC-HHS was asked to address the following questions:
- Do the draft global health sector strategies for 2022–2030 reflect an appropriate balance in promoting integration, synergy and commonalities and driving disease-specific actions and progress?
- Do the strategies appropriately consider the disruptions and opportunities related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the changing resource and political landscape?
- Do the accountability and 2025 and 2030 targets sections of the strategies provide an appropriate framework to drive and monitor progress?
- Are there key elements that require greater emphasis or that are missing from the draft strategies?
