National stop TB partnerships meet at The Union Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 13-17 November 2012

15 November 2012 - Symposium 14: "Building national and international partnerships to ensure a sustainable response to TB challenges"

Partnerships help build a sustainable response to TB challenges. TB control requires sustained financing including support to and/or contributions by all stakeholders. Partnerships bring partners together from different sectors to develop and implement shared action plans to tackle TB. After a mapping of resources, partners are able to agree on a common plan with identified roles and responsibilities and move to a joint resource (financial, technical, human) mobilisation strategy. See agenda (pdf).
