The STH Advisory Committee (STHAC) is a group of independent research and national program leaders with expertise in public health, STH research, water, sanitation and hygiene, diagnostics, and child and school health.

The STH Advisory Committee holds an annual meeting to assess timely research and persistent gaps in achieving the WHO STH goals. The resulting report provides relevant technical and scientific advice on STH control to donors, researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and nongovernmental and governmental implementers.

CWW is the secretariat of the STHAC.
