• An integrated and holistic approach to combating

  TB and malaria and other communicable diseases
  needs strengthening and deepening.
• Without universal access to basic rights and
  services, citizens cannot participate in and
  benefit from socio-economic development.
• Weaknesses in civil society reduce their
  participation in, and their impact on,
  socio-economic development processes and
  outcomes, and ensuring their increased
  participation to South Africas national
