Canada’s Support to TB REACH – program 2023 to 2025

This project managed by the Stop TB Partnership which is housed within the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) is contributing to global efforts to end tuberculosis (TB) by stimulating supporting and demonstrating novel and innovative approaches to expand early detection of TB accessing quality treatment and improving TB treatment outcomes in poor and vulnerable populations with limited access to health care in developing countries. Selected initiatives with potential for scale-up are receiving fast-track short-term funding from TB REACH to demonstrate effectiveness and produce the necessary evidence required for them to be integrated and scaled-up within National Strategic Plans and subsequent funding applications to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS Tuberculosis and Malaria the largest international donor for TB programming. Stop TB is providing support for documentation and ensure that successful approaches and lessons learned are disseminated.

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) improved TB case detection and care services especially for women children and other key populations; (2) increased adoption and scale-up of successful innovative programming approaches for TB case detection and care services especially for women children and other key populations; and (3) increased access to quality gender-transformative TB interventions that address specific needs particularly for women and girls in all their diversity.
