Ending Cholera—A Global Roadmap to 2030

2017

This report from the World Health Organization (WHO) offers an operational roadmap for the new global strategy for cholera control at the country level. The strategy, developed by the Global Task Force on Cholera Control, sets out a plan to reduce cholera deaths by 90 percent by the year 2030, a goal dependent on the commitment of cholera-affected countries, technical partners, and donors. It focuses on early detection and quick response to contain outbreaks; a targeted multi-sectoral approach to prevent cholera recurrence; and an effective mechanism to coordinate technical support, advocacy, resource mobilization, and partnerships.

This report includes a snapshot of the current state of cholera in endemic countries, introduces the global cholera control strategy along with a monitoring framework, describes the financing considerations related to implementing the strategy, including the required water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions; and includes data tables on the disease burden of cholera by country and “hotspot.”
