This roadmap has been developed to guide Member States of the WHO European Region and partners, including funding and bilateral agencies and civil society organizations, on how to contribute to sound implementation of the tuberculosis (TB) action plan for the WHO European Region 2016–2020 (which was endorsed by the WHO Regional Committee for Europe with its accompanying resolution EUR/RC65/17 in September 2015). It presents epidemiological analysis, an overview of the achievements and challenges of the consolidated action plan to prevent and combat multidrug- and extensively drug-resistant TB 2011–2015, a regional analysis of strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats in relation to the TB action plan, an overview of the cost and economic benefits, and a description of the monitoring framework.
