UNOPS has hosted the Stop Tuberculosis Partnership Secretariat (STP) since 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 acquire a world free of TB by ensuring that every person with TB 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 TB Partnership is a unique and innovative global health organization that brings together partners, expertise, funding, commodities, and people-centered services in our shared mission to transform the tuberculosis (TB) space and end TB by 2030.
Founded in 2001, the Stop TB Partnership is a United Nations (UN) hosted organization that takes bold and smart risks to serve and amplify the voices of the people, communities, stakeholders, and partners from countries affected by TB.
The Stop TB Partnership is guided by three (3) strategic goals to:
-
Advocate, catalyze, and facilitate sustained coordination and collaboration among partners;
-
Support the development, replication, and scale-up of innovative approaches and tools; and
-
Facilitate global, equitable access to TB diagnostics and medicines.
The Stop TB Partnership’s comprehensive range of strategic and technical expertise and our willingness to push boundaries are crucial factors in reaching the targets agreed upon by Heads of States and the TB community-at-large to end TB by 2030.
Background - Team
The Stop TB Partnership’s Country and Community Support for Impact (CCS4i) Team, works on three complementary priorities:
-
technically strong country responses;
-
empowered networks of people affected by TB, and engaged civil society and other key stakeholders;
-
advancement of rights-based, gender sensitive TB response that prioritizes TB key and vulnerable populations.
Through its Challenge Facility for Civil Society (CFCS), CCS4i Team provides tools to facilitate the involvement of people affected by TB and civil society in all aspects of the TB response and grants to partners in lower-income and/or high TB burden countries to remove social, legal and economic barriers to universal access to TB prevention, diagnosis, treatment, care and support services, create demand for highest quality drugs and diagnostics, community-led monitoring of TB service quality, advocacy for law and policy change, and elevating the voice of TB survivors in national and global TB governance. Through country-level STP Platforms CCS4i Team mobilize and engage country key stakeholders for advocacy, awareness, visibility, and demand creation.
Under the overall supervision and guidance of the CCS4i Team Leader, The Grant Management Analyst provides technical input to organize and run country grants and supports a broad range of implementing partners/organizations (including procurements, grants, contracts, as well as other operations related matters). They would work in close collaboration with the Regional Technical advisors and CRG Programme Officers while advising on UNOPS rules and regulations and promoting the strategic aims of the Stop TB Partnership and its programs.
