EXECUTIVE BOARD 138th session Agenda item 9.4
EB138/CONF./1 Add.1 28 January 2016
Financial and administrative implications for the Secretariat of resolutions proposed for adoption by the Executive Board or Health Assembly Resolution: Addressing the burden of mycetoma A. 1. Link to the general programme of work and the programme budget Please indicate to which impact and outcome in the Twelfth General Programme of Work, 2014–2019 and which output in the Programme budget 2016–2017 this draft resolution will contribute if adopted. Twelfth General Programme of Work, 2014–2019: Outcome 1.4 Increased and sustained access to essential medicines for neglected tropical diseases. Programme budget 2016–2017: Output 1.4.2 Implementation and monitoring of neglected tropical disease control interventions facilitated by evidence-based technical guidelines and technical support; and Output 1.4.3 New knowledge, solutions and implementation strategies that respond to the health needs of diseaseendemic countries. The activities mandated by the resolution are part of the deliverables that need reinforcement specifically for the control of mycetoma. The UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases no longer engages in managing research and development for drugs and diagnostics, should such be required for mycetoma, but would assist the Secretariat in convening expert groups to analyse the situation and form research priorities. The funds required to take these priorities forward are not included in the present report. 2. If there is no link to the results as indicated in the Twelfth General Programme of Work, 2014 –2019 and the Programme budget 2016–2017, please provide a justification for giving consideration to the draft resolution. Not applicable.
