Roadmap 2030
A new global strategy to reduce cholera deaths and stop cholera transmission
A new global strategy to reduce cholera deaths and stop cholera transmission
The new global strategy for cholera control aims to achieve a 90% reduction in cholera deaths through the mobilization of cholera-affected countries with the support of the GTFCC. Working together, we can stop disease transmission by 2030 in up to 20 countries.
The Global Roadmap to 2030 calls on countries, technical partners and donors to step up their efforts and pool their resources to eliminate cholera by focusing on 3 key areas.
to contain outbreaks
using vaccines in cholera hotspots
with GTFCC coordination and support
The successful implementation of the Global Roadmap may allow up to 50% cost savings compared with the average yearly cost of responding to emerging cholera outbreaks.
With efforts directed at the 47 countries affected by cholera today, our strategy consists of organizing interventions across several sectors simultaneously with overall coordination and support provided by the GTFCC.
Engaging communities, improving early warning surveillance, building laboratory capacities, strengthening health systems and ensuring supplies are ready are all part of a swift response.
The strategy calls on countries and partners to prevent cholera transmission in hotspots by organizing WASH programs and administering the oral cholera vaccine.
The GTFCC mobilizes partners from across all sectors to provide a strong platform for advocacy and communications, fundraising, inter-sectoral coordination and technical assistance.
Today we are in a position to change this map. Controlling cholera in hotspots reduces cholera deaths and disease, and it also represents an important step toward achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being at all ages
Ensure access to clean water and sanitation for all
Reduce inequality within and among countries
With the commitment of countries, partners and donors we will make steady progress over the next 10 years and eliminate the disease in 20 countries by 2030. We can put an end to cholera transmission through simple, practical steps.
Theory of change of the Global Roadmap
Early detection and quick response to contain outbreaks
A targeted prevention strategy in cholera hotspots
GTFCC support and coordination of human, technical and financial resources
eliminate cholera
outbreaks in fragile settings
Reduction in cholera deaths
The strategy is designed to make a strong impact in the short term while implementing disease surveillance, case management and other control measures in the long term.
To ensure sustainable WASH solutions for populations most at risk
To build strong preparedness and response strategies
To improve readiness in case of an outbreak
To confirm suspected cases and track progress
To prevent cholera and protect communities
To involve community leaders, raise awareness and communicate about strategies
Each year, milestones mark progress toward our goal
