Description
iii, 2 p.
This web annex complements the operational guidance for the adaptation and implementation of the WHO Multisectoral Accountability Framework to End TB (MAF-TB) by describing examples of national surveys and analytical studies that support evidence-informed planning, monitoring and evaluation of tuberculosis programmes. It presents key survey methodologies and assessment tools that generate information on the epidemiology of tuberculosis, the performance of national surveillance systems, barriers to care and the broader determinants of the disease. The annex is intended to help countries select and apply appropriate approaches to strengthen national evidence for multisectoral action and accountability. The publication outlines the objectives and applications of tuberculosis prevalence surveys, epidemiological reviews and surveillance assessments, drug-resistance surveys, tuberculosis patient cost surveys, patient pathway analyses, inventory studies, civil society–led communities, rights and gender assessments, and country-level tuberculosis modelling. For each approach, it summarizes its purpose, the information it generates and its contribution to strengthening tuberculosis policies, strategic planning, resource allocation and programme performance. The annex also identifies the corresponding WHO guidance and other technical resources that support implementation, enabling countries to integrate high-quality evidence into decision-making and monitor progress towards achieving the goals of the End TB Strategy.
