Stop TB Partnership

Together with Stop TB Partnership, Humana People to People Foundation co-funded the yearly Community Award for 2023 with US$35,000.

Stop TB Partnership brings together expertise from a broad spectrum of countries, regional, and global partners in a shared mission to revolutionise the TB space and end TB by 2030.

Together with its partners, Stop TB Partnership is a collective force that is transforming the fight against TB globally. Through the Partnership’s Secretariat and working with all partners, it ensures a clear identity for the TB community, high-level engagement and representation. 

Stop TB Partnership also identifies and funds innovative approaches to find, treat and cure people affected by TB. It plays a key role in procuring TB drugs and diagnostics, including the roll-out of new tools across the world. The Partnership’s market-shaping strategy also helps to reduce prices, improve forecasting and prevent stock-outs for drugs.

"Key and vulnerable populations are too often overlooked in the TB response. At Stop TB Partnership, we are committed to supporting countries in profiling and assisting TB key and vulnerable populations. Without this focus, we cannot eliminate TB. It is fitting that we celebrate the excellence of Janna Health Foundation Nigeria and Bridge Consultants Foundation Pakistan in building the evidence, engagement, and empowerment of KVPs through the 2023 Community Award, supported by Stop TB Partnership and Humana People to People Foundation," stated Dr. Lucica Ditiu, Executive Director of the Stop TB Partnership.

“This year's award carries a significant theme: Serving the Most Vulnerable: Increasing Access to TB Services for Key and Vulnerable Populations. It is often the most vulnerable populations that get left behind, and emphasising human rights, reducing stigma, addressing gender disparities, and enhancing support for key and vulnerable populations are essential in our collective fight against TB. Sustainable development and effective public health interventions must be anchored in a people-centered and community-driven approach, a philosophy that is deeply embedded in the mission of Humana People to People Foundation” said Jesper Wohlert, Vice Chair Humana People to People Foundation.
