The Stop TB Partnership: Leading the Fight against TB

The Stop TB Partnership is governed by a Coordinating Board, supported by two standing board committees: Executive Committee and Finance Committee. The Stop TB Partnership Coordinating Board has a responsibility towards the global TB community to build awareness, identify key strategic issues affecting TB and to set a strategic direction for the global effort to fight TB. The Coordinating Board is tasked with approving The Global Plan to Stop TB.

Since its creation in 2001, the Stop TB Partnership has developed “The Global Plan to Stop TB” - a roadmap for the fight against TB for a five-year period. Each plan provides an estimate for the resources needed every five years to achieve the goals the world has set. The Partnership is now working on “The Global Plan to stop TB 2016-2020” to outline what it takes to set the world on the right track to reach the goals set in the post-2015 Global TB Strategy. The Plan will provide a large-scale, costed blue-print for how global TB efforts can become significantly more ambitious and effective over the next five years, proposing dramatic changes to the way TB programs are run.
