UNOPS hosts the Stop
Tuberculosis Partnership Secretariat (STBP) as of 1 January
2015, in Geneva, Switzerland. The purpose of STBP is to realize the goal of
elimination of tuberculosis as a public health problem and, ultimately, to
obtain a world free of tuberculosis. In order to achieve this, STBP manages the
Global Drugs Facility (GDF), the TB REACH, and the Challenge Facility, which
provide a broad range of procurement, grants and advocacy activities, as well
as a leading coordination role at national, regional and global levels. 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, stop transmission of TB, reduce the inequitable social and
economic toll of TB, and developing and implementing new preventive, diagnostic
and therapeutic tools and strategies
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.
The
project is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the target
for countries to eliminate TB by 2030. In 2015 the Stop TB Partnership launched
The Global Plan to End TB 2016-2020 consisting of a five year road map to
provide countries with an approach to accelerate their efforts towards
achieving the targets and milestones of the WHO End TB Strategy, by investing
in specific activities that are needed to put them on course to end TB.

from a variety of sources to benchmark countries progress against the Global
Plan, document impact and generate advocacy at the national and global level.
