"This workplan focuses on those areas where advocacy, communication and social mobilization (ACSM) has most to offer and where ACSM strategies can be most effectively concentrated to help address four key challenges to TB control at country level: • improving case detection and treatment adherence; • combating stigma and discrimination; • empowering people affected by TB; • mobilizing political commitment and resources for TB. The workplan supports the ACSM contribution to the Global Plan to Stop TB 2006–2015 and sets out a 10-year strategic framework for country-level ACSM programming that complements strategic work at the global advocacy level designed to exert pressure on governments and other authorities to prioritize TB control."
