ECDC framework for action on the Sustainable Development Goal diseases

This framework describes the building blocks and actions that ECDC will use to support and empower European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries and the European Commission to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) on health target 3.3, with a focus on HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and tuberculosis (TB) (SDG goal 3.3 and corresponding global targets and European indicators are presented in Annex 1).

The actions in the framework’s building blocks are coordinated by the SDG diseases group in the Disease Programme Unit’s section on sexually transmitted infections, blood-borne viruses and tuberculosis (SBT), with close collaboration and input from all ECDC units, EU/EEA countries, the European Commission and a broad range of key external stakeholders.
