A Global Action Framework for TB Research in Support of the Third Pillar of WHO End TB Strategy

The World Health Organization (WHO), with contributions from many stakeholders, has developed a Global Action Framework for TB Research to foster high-quality national and global TB research over the next 10 years to 2025.

The first part of the framework describes how to strengthen TB research in low- and middle-income countries most affected by TB by developing a national TB research plan.

The second part of the framework describes how to enhance TB research globally by applying efforts to building strong research partnerships and networks and securing robust funding for research.

The third part of the framework describes WHO’s activities in support of the framework.
