Vision et mission

We recognize that cholera is a disease of inequity

Cholera is an ancient illness that today sickens and kills only the poorest and most vulnerable people on Earth. As such, controlling cholera is a moral obligation as well as a critical step to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

We acknowledge that every death from cholera is preventable with the tools we have today

Ending cholera is within our reach. The multi-sector approach to cholera control outlined in the Global Roadmap – including oral cholera vaccine (OCV) and WASH services – can prevent cholera outbreaks before they happen. By targeting highly endemic areas – “hotspots” – that experience cholera time and again, we will not only reduce the burden of cholera, but also effectively prioritize the delivery of WASH solutions to those most in need, achieving maximum impact.

We commit to support countries preventing large outbreaks in crisis situations by detecting cholera outbreaks early, responding immediately, and containing them rapidly.

We pledge to invest in the prevention of cholera

Cholera is an ancient illness that today sickens and kills only the poorest and most vulnerable people on Earth. As such, controlling cholera is a moral obligation as well as a critical step to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

We declare that now is the time to accelerate action against cholera at country and global levels

We aim to synchronize efforts and investments towards a coordinated, multi-sectoral approach to cholera control at country level. We encourage a phased approach that takes into consideration the current conditions on the ground, assisting each country to set a realistic and achievable goal for cholera control.

We commit to full support for the implementation of the 2030 Global Roadmap

We hold ourselves accountable for the targets outlined in the Global Roadmap monitoring framework – including a 90 percent reduction in deaths from cholera by 2030 – and pledge to act with urgency to realize a world free from the threat of cholera.

The GTFCC synchronizes efforts and investments across multiple sectors (Advocacy, policy development and public communication/engagement, case management, epidemiology, laboratory, vaccination, WASH, research) to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive approach to cholera control and prevention.

Through our collective efforts, the GTFCC supports countries in implementing Ending Cholera: A Global Roadmap to 2030.

This ambitious initiative aims to:

• reduce cholera deaths by 90%
• eliminate cholera in 20 countries
• prevent any uncontrolled outbreaks
