It effectively ratifies continental commitment to the World Health Assembly, MDG and Stop TB Partnership targets for TB Control. It also complements the 2001 Abuja Declaration on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and other related Infectious diseases, the 2005 Declaration of TB as an Emergency in the Region by Ministers of Health of the WHO African Region and subsequent declaration of national emergencies by at least 18 countries, and is itself complemented by subsequent commitments on TB/HIV and related strategies by the declarations of the Ministers of Health of the African Region and various regional economic communities in 2007 and 2008. The stated commitment not withstanding, national financing of health and TB Control programmes is still insufficient to support requisite scale up towards universal access. To date, the target of “allocating 15% of national budgets to the improvement of the health sector” as stated in the 2001 declaration has only been achieved by a limited number of countries. Furthermore, a later call to allocate 34USD per capita for health is yet to be realised by the majority of countries.
