Within WHO, the HTM cluster has the responsibility for supporting the achievement of and monitoring progress towards some components of SDG target 3.3. The HTM cluster is collecting data on five indicators for the target. However, the data are often found in specific diseaserelated reports or strategies and, thus, are dispersed across many different departments. The purpose of this report is to assemble the data for the disease-specific indicators into one concise document to inform national and international stakeholders about progress being made towards achieving target 3.3. This report is the first attempt to present the status of the selected indicators under SDG target 3.3. It is expected to be released periodically to keep all stakeholders informed on the progress achieved for ending epidemics against these diseases while moving forward towards 2030. Primarily, this is an advocacy document providing a snapshot of the overall status of achievements made and gaps in the indicators for target 3.3, both across and within countries. This report summarizes the progress being made against HIV, TB, malaria, viral hepatitis and NTDs on the path towards meeting target 3.3</p>
