6th Annual Meeting of the Global Task Force on Cholera Control (GTFCC)

June 3 - 4, 2019, Les Pensières Center for Global Health, Veyrier du Lac (France)

Summary

The meeting was an opportunity to present an update on GTFCC activities in the last 12 months and discuss how the GTFCC can best support countries in the implementation of the 2030 End Cholera Roadmap.

Specifically, the proposed objectives of the meeting were to:

  • Update on progress of cholera control activities in endemic countries
  • Review the activities of the GTFCC partners and the working groups in the last 12 months
  • Present the Cholera Elimination Framework, i.e. the guidance to countries on how to build National Cholera Elimination Plans (NCPs) and the related services provided by GTFCC partners to support countries in all the steps of the process
  • Discuss the Cholera Investment Case and the advocacy and resource mobilization strategy for cholera and agree on the way forward
  • Discuss the structure of the GTFCC for effective country support
