TBEC Executive Director Yuliia Kalancha shared the experience of civil society in the Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) region in using practical MAF-TB tools during the webinar “Accelerating progress towards ending TB through the WHO Multisectoral Accountability Framework (MAF-TB): Country experiences and implementation lessons”.
The event, organised by WHO in partnership with KNCV on 9 November 2026, provided a platform for sharing successful country experiences and discussing the barriers countries face in implementing MAF-TB. In particular, the experiences of Pakistan, Indonesia, Nigeria and the EECA region were discussed in detail.
In her contribution, Yuliia presented the baseline assessments conducted in EECA countries, the indicator matrices developed and used to inform National Strategic Plans (NSPs), and country practices in formalising MAF-TB coordination and review mechanisms through Country Coordinating Mechanisms. She also shared lessons learned and recommendations that could help colleagues in other regions initiate and implement MAF-TB.
We would like to thank the organisers and participants for this valuable discussion and for their support in advancing initiatives to strengthen the multisectoral TB response!
