A Review of The United Nations Joint Global Programme on the Elimination of Cervical Cancer

A summary report to review progress, identify lessons learned, and chart a course for the way that UN agencies work together to support the Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer.

The United Nations Joint Global Programme on the Elimination of Cervical Cancer (Joint Programme) was established in 2016 and has worked in Bolivia, Mongolia, Morocco, Myanmar, Tanzania, and Uzbekistan. It has demonstrated that a joint approach is the right approach: when UN agencies and their partners are coordinated and organised around a common goal, results are achieved.That common goal is now well positioned to meet the targets set out in the Global Strategy to Accelerate the Elimination of Cervical Cancer as a Public Health Problem (Global Elimination Strategy), announced by the WHO Director General in 2018. This review should be used by the UN system to support the development of the next phase of the Joint Programme’s work in order to maximise its contribution to the Global Elimination Strategy.
