About the Organization

The Stop TB Partnership brings together expertise from a broad spectrum of country, regional, and global partners in our shared mission to revolutionize the TB space and end TB by 2030.

Founded in 2001, the Stop TB Partnership is a United Nations hosted organization that takes bold and smart risks to serve the needs and amplify the voices of the people, communities, and countries affected by TB.

We work to advocate, catalyze, and facilitate sustained coordination and collaboration among partners; to support the development, replication, and scale-up of innovative approaches and tools; and to facilitate equitable access to TB diagnostics, treatment, and care for all in need.

We believe that our comprehensive range of strategic and technical expertise and our willingness to push boundaries are crucial factors in reaching the targets set forth by the TB community at large.

Our Vision: Our vision is a world free of TB and, until then, making diagnosis, treatment and care available to all who need it.

About the Grant

The Stop TB Partnership is pleased to announce that the call for proposals for Round 13 of its Challenge Facility for Civil Society (CFCS) is now OPEN.

With the continued generous support from USAID and L’Initiative implemented by Expertise France, Stop TB Partnership is thrilled to announce a total of 19 million USD to continue its support to civil society and TB-affected community partners to champion ambitious and strong people-centered, human-rights based, gender-transformative national TB responses through Round 13 of the CFCS mechanism.

A year on from the second UNHLM on TB it is time to increase advocacy efforts and demand the political will and financing required to end TB. Stop TB Partnership’s Challenge Facility for Civil Society Round 13 aims to support organisations of people affected by TB and civil society organisations to reduce barriers to quality TB care and support services to end TB by 2030. This will be achieved by securing political will, reducing the TB financing gap, increasing demand for new tools and approaches, enhancing ambition and accountability, strengthening engagement of key partners and establishing supportive legal and policy environments.
