Joint Global Programme on Cervical Cancer: Prevention and Control

The Joint Global Programme on Cervical Cancer provides global leadership and technical assistance to support governments and their partners to build and sustain high-quality national programmes to prevent and control cervical cancer, ensuring that all women and girls can access services equitably.

Funded by Belgium and implemented by UNFPA, WHO and IAEA, the programme started in October 2018 and will run through April 2021, working initially in 6 low- and middle-income countries: Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Morocco, Myanmar, the Plurinational State of Bolivia, and the United Republic of Tanzania. 

The programme aims to take new technologies to scale, reduce the cost of vaccines, and use innovative approaches to ensure women are accessing services. The ultimate goal is for death from cervical cancer to cease being a public health issue, within one generation.
