7 March 2023 | Geneva The Global TB Programme at WHO is pleased to launch a call for applications to expand its global pool of consultants providing technical assistance to National TB Programmes throughout the strategic planning process.
Successful candidates will be invited to attend a five-day workshop held from 5 to 9 June 2023 in Europe (specific location TBD) for training on TB surveillance and programmatic activities related to Epidemiological Reviews and Programme Reviews. These activities play an important role in the situational analysis and generate evidence for informing programme improvement as part of routine monitoring and supervision. Therefore, training on both activities will take place in parallel with cross-cutting components to highlight their complementarity.
Consultants will develop their capacity to conduct epidemiological and programme reviews in different settings according to WHO guidance. Participants who successfully complete the training and demonstrate the relevant skills and competencies to undertake epidemiological or programme reviews may have the opportunity to be placed on a global roster of consultants managed by WHO. Consultants on the WHO global roster of consultants may then be contacted for future collaboration on TB surveillance and programmatic activities by different entities.
Transportation costs and daily per diem during the workshop will be covered by WHO.
