The Regional Communicable Diseases Control (CDC) Steering Committee was established under the project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA) and continued to meet afterwards.
The Regional CDC Steering Committee provides guidance on project implementation, policy dialogue, and the building of regional capacity and cooperation for CDC.
The regional steering committee, which is advisory in nature, meets annually. Meetings are hosted on a rotating basis by one of the Participating Countries. The regional steering committee is chaired by the Minister or Vice Minister of the host country’s Ministry of Health, and comprises leading representatives from the Project steering committees of the Participating Countries, project staff, and ADB and WHO representatives.
