Abstract
Description
The Joint Coordinating Board (JCB) of the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases Research (TDR) acts as the governing body of the Special Programme and is responsible for its overall policy and strategy. This paper describes the background and composition of the JCB TDR. At present, there are two Member States from the South-East Asia Region (India and Thailand) that are members of the JCB under paragraph 2.2.1. The Government of Indonesia is a member until 31 December 2013 and the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal is a member until 31 December 2014 under paragraph 2.2.2 (selected by the WHO Regional Committee). All country members have valid membership up to 2013. From 1 January 2014, membership under paragraph 2.2.2 will be reduced to one member per region; therefore, no action needs to be taken by the Regional Committee.
