Abstract
The Joint Coordinating Board (JCB) of the WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases Research (TDR) acts as the Governing Body of the Special Programme and is responsible for its overall policy and strategy. This paper describes the background and composition of JCB TDR. Currently, Maldives represents the WHO South-East Asia Region until 31 December 2018 under category 2.2.2 of the Memorandum of Understanding, and there are two Member States from the Region (India and Thailand) that are members of JCB under category 2.2.1 until 31 December 2017. The Seventy-first session of the WHO Regional Committee for South-East Asia in 2018 would be required to take a decision on the regional membership for a four-year period from 2019 onwards to replace Maldives. Currently, there is no representation from the SEA Region for JCB membership under category 2.2.3. The Fortieth Session of the Joint Coordinating Board for TDR (JCB TDR) was held at WHO headquarters in Geneva on 19–21 June 2017. Recommendations The HLP Meeting recommended that the summary report of the Fortieth Session of the JCB be submitted to the Seventieth Session of the Regional Committee for noting.
