UNOPS
UNOPS supports the successful implementation of its partners’
peacebuilding, humanitarian and development projects around the world. Our
mission is to serve people in need by expanding the ability of the United
Nations, governments and other partners to manage projects, infrastructure and
procurement in a sustainable and efficient manner.
Working in some of the world’s most challenging environments, our vision
is to advance sustainable implementation practices, always satisfying or
surpassing our partners’ expectations.
With over 7,000 personnel spread across 80 countries, UNOPS offers its
partners the logistical, technical and management knowledge they need, wherever
they need it.
A flexible structure and global reach means that we can quickly respond
to our partners' needs, while offering the benefits of economies of scale.
Stop TB Partnership
UNOPS hosts the Stop Tuberculosis Partnership Secretariat (STBP) as of 1 January 2015, in
Geneva, Switzerland. The vision of the Stop TB Partnership is to realize the
goal of elimination of Tuberculosis (TB) as a public health problem and,
ultimately, to obtain a world free of TB by ensuring that every TB patient has
access to effective diagnosis, treatment and cure; stopping transmission of TB;
reducing the inequitable social and economic toll of TB; and developing and
implementing new preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic tools and strategies.
The Stop Partnership is uniquely positioned to support the development and
further implementation by partners of the current and future Global Plan,
acting as a coordinator and catalyst for the range of partners engaged in the
fight against TB.
Founded in 2001, the Stop TB Partnership's mission is to
serve every person who is vulnerable to TB and ensure that high-quality
treatment is available to all who need it. Our partners include international
and technical organizations, government programmes, research and funding
agencies, foundations, NGOs, civil society and community groups and the private
sector
As a key initiative of the STBP, the goal of the Global Drug Facility
(GDF) is to facilitate world-wide, equitable access to TB medicines and
diagnostics across both public and private sectors. This goal is achieved
through management and coordination of market activities for the full portfolio
of TB medicines and diagnostics, strategic procurement and innovative logistics
solutions, technical assistance and capacity building for TB programmes in
better pharmaceutical management practices, and accelerated uptake of new TB
medicines, regimens, and diagnostics using the GDF “launch pad.” GDF is highly
reliant on technology to ensure quick and smooth procurement and supply of
quality-assured TB products for populations in need.
Purpose and
Scope of Assignment
The consultant will work under the supervision of the

following:
- Technical reports
- Quarterly donor reports
- Policy and advocacy papers
- Technical documents
- Communication and information materials
- Articles for peer reviewed journals
- Strategies & workplans
- Write-ups, summaries, one-pagers, announcements and

In producing the above-mentioned reports, documents

inputs from the GDF team and management, as well as Stop TB Partnership senior
management and other partners when required. These reports, documents and materials
will be widely shared with countries, donors, The Global Fund, WHO and other
global and local partners, and should therefore be high-impact, well
thought-out and of a high standard.
