Stop TB Partnership

The National Stop TB Partnership in Nigeria

The Nigeria Stop TB Partnership was formed by the National TB Control Programme (NTP), the World Heatlh Organization (WHO) and other partners (including civil society organizations, the private sector and individuals affected by TB) on 17 December 2007. The partnership's main objective is to secure political commitment for TB control, care and prevention at national, state and LGA levels in order to create a strong national response to TB. Beyond this, the partnership also works to raise additional resources (including human resources, technical expertise, financial resources and in-kind contributions) from partners in the country and from international donors.
