Defeating Meningitis by 2030: a global road map - Technical Taskforce (TTF) Terms of Reference

Overview

The Defeating Meningitis by 2030 Global Road Map was developed with the strong involvement of experts from all regions, ministries of health, public health organizations, civil society organizations, academics, the private sector, donors and other stakeholders, through a multidisciplinary approach.

A Technical Taskforce (TTF) composed of partners, and international experts, historically engaged in long-term meningitis control has played an essential role in the process of developing the road map. The TTF will continue to play an essential role under the general authority of WHO, with specific responsibility for leading and coordinating the implementation of the WHO Defeating Meningitis by 2030 Global Road Map, globally and regionally, by providing a forum for technical exchange and cooperation on meningitis and road map related activities. The TTF is not a decision-making body per se, but it helps the Organization to ensure its accountability to Member States, in line with the resolution and the Mission of the Organization. (A Strategy Support Group is also appointed to support WHO and its partners in the implementation of the Global Road Map globally and regionally.)
