WHO held a special consultation in advance of the Global PPM Working Group Meeting. The aim on the consultation was to reach consensus on core common indicators and next steps for development and deployment of data dashboards on PPM. This is part of efforts led by WHO to strengthen PPM monitoring with the support of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, through the development of enhanced PPM data dashboards in high PPM priority countries. These dashboards will help ensure PPM prioritization, action and accountability. They will play an important role in strengthening national TB strategic plans and for funding proposal applications. These dashboards will also be integrated into national M&E systems making them sustainable and are a part of promoting a people-centered approach to care.
