This report assesses the worldwide state of readiness to begin monitoring of progress using the Indicator and Monitoring Framework of the Global Strategy.

At least 1 million children fall ill with tuberculosis (TB) each year. Children represent about 11% of all TB cases. In 2015, 210,000 children died of TB, including 40,000 TB deaths among children who were HIV positive. Researchers estimate that 67 million children are infected with TB (latent TB) and are therefore at risk of developing disease in the future.

This package of seven evidence-based strategies builds on growing evidence that violence against children is preventable, and on a growing public consensus that it will no longer be tolerated.

Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention for Women and their Babies: A treatment literacy guide for pregnant women and mothers living with HIV is intended for use by networks of women living with HIV, women’s groups, peer educators and others wishing to provide information and guidance to support women living with HIV through the decisions they will need to make before, during and after their pregnancy.

This study aims to better understand the motivation, success factors, and challenges experienced by six countries in the East Asia and Pacific (EAP) region, who have made significant shifts in policies and programmes in order to reach the most disadvantaged and marginalized children.

To end AIDS in children once and for all, we need to focus on both treatment and prevention, with a deeper focus on the life cycle of the child, beginning during pregnancy, in infancy and childhood, and through adolescence.

The fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) are not new drugs, but rather improved formulations of currently used medicines recommended for the first line treatment of TB.

This is the first round of the IBBS Survey conducted among street involved children and youths in three districts in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. This survey is a part of the National HIV Surveillance Plan (2012) and National HIV and AIDS Strategy (2011-2016). The first round of the survey was undertaken to determine the prevalence of HIV infections and to assess the sexual and/or injecting behaviors related to HIV among street involved children and youths in the Kathmandu Valley.

Children often exist as a vulnerable population within already vulnerable populations. Therefore, it is imperative that TB finally be addressed head-on by policy makers, civil society, and health professionals. Not only do children provide the reservoir from which future cases will develop, but continued inaction is costing lives.

This 'Strategy' paper tells the story of what the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children plans to do in the next few years.
