The Stop TB Partnership today launched an important call for proposals – its largest to date – consisting of USD 7.5 million to support its Challenge Facility for Civil Society (CFCS). Round 10 of the CFCS will support TB-affected community and civil society organizations to engage in country-level efforts towards advocating, networking and responding to the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the TB response and accelerate action to meet the United Nations Political Declaration on TB global targets on combating tuberculosis (TB) by the 2022 deadline.
The funds will be used to support TB-affected community and civil society organizations to work and contribute towards three key areas:
- Ensuring effective advocacy and engagement of different national stakeholders – including Stop TB partners, donors, private sector and technical partners to monitor and guarantee that the UN TB targets are met by 2022 and to support the efforts to organize a UNHLM on TB in 2023;
- Ensuring and supporting National TB Programme recovery efforts from COVID-19 will contribute to meet the UNHLM targets, including leveraging COVID-19 donor opportunities for TB; and
- Transforming the TB response to be rights-based, gender transformative, and people-centered, aligned with the UN Political Declaration on the Fight Against TB and the Call to Action from A Deadly Divide: TB Commitments vs. TB Realities.
