Tuberculosis Partnerships
Since the initiation of USAID's tuberculosis
program in 1998, close collaboration with other international
partners has been a cornerstone of USAID's TB efforts. Working
through partnerships is essential to reducing the devastating
illness and deaths caused by TB. USAID partnerships in TB
range from close engagement with the Stop TB Partnership
at the global level, to support for regional Stop TB and
donor coordination efforts at the regional level, to close
collaboration with host country counterparts and other donors
at the country level.
USAID's primary implementing partner is
the TB Coalition for Technical Assistance (TBCTA), which
is a unique consortium of six of the leading international
TB organizations designed to provide consultation and technical
assistance to TB programs in developing countries. In addition,
USAID supports the Global Fund for AIDS, TB and Malaria,
which is intended to increase resources available in the
global response to HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria, and USAID contributes
to the Global TB Drug Facility to ensure availability of
quality anti-TB drugs.
