UNOPS has hosted the Stop TB Partnership (STBP) since 1 January 2015, in Geneva, Switzerland. The vision of the Stop TB Partnership is to realize the goal of eliminating tuberculosis (TB) as a public health problem and, ultimately, to achieve 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 preventative, diagnostic and therapeutic tools and strategies. STBP is uniquely positioned to support the development and further implementation by partners of the current and future Global Plans to End TB, 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 quality-assured treatment is available to all who need it. Stop TB partners include international and technical organizations, government programmes, research and funding agencies, foundations, NGOs, civil society and community groups and the private sector.
