Stop TB Partnership

[3] The STBP Board provides leadership and direction, ensures coordination within the Stop TB Partnership, and monitors the implementation of agreed policies, plans, and activities of the Secretariat.

The Stop TB Initiative was established following the meeting of the First Session of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Tuberculosis Epidemic held in London in March 1998.

Challenge Facility for Civil Society The Stop TB Partnership Challenge Facility for Civil Society (CFCS), a grant mechanism supported by USAID, L'Initiative by Expertise France, and the Global Fund Strategic Initiative, empowers grassroots organizations and TB-affected communities often overlooked in the fight against tuberculosis.

[13] By funding innovative and technically sound interventions, the CFCS aims to elevate these vital groups to recognized partners in both national and global TB responses.

[14] This support enables community and civil society actors to engage in impactful advocacy, access essential services, and ensure governments uphold their commitments to the United Nations Political Declaration on TB.

[15] The ultimate goal is to foster robust networks within civil society and TB-affected communities that are accountable, supportive, and actively involved in shaping and enhancing TB eradication efforts, promoting human rights and gender equity along the way.

On September 12, 2020, The New York Times published an article on the Stop TB Partnership titled "A Global Health Star Under Fire".
