WHO - Stop TB Partnership

Published purpose

This project is a component of the TB REACH initiative, which began operations in early 2010. The project provides a funding mechanism to address urgent needs, gaps, and bottlenecks in tuberculosis (TB) control. It works through the partners of the Stop TB Partnership to support local initiatives in collaboration with national TB control programs. The project provides opportunities for Stop TB partners to implement new and innovative or tried-and-tested solutions in tuberculosis prevention, care, treatment, and support in regions that are currently under-serviced. It focuses specifically on building capacity within TB control programs to address issues including infection control, targeting high-risk groups, training lab technicians and health staff, and rehabilitating laboratories.
