Stop TB Partnership and WHO issue call for applications for membership in the Green Light Committee, Western Pacific Region

20 May 2011 - In response to the need to scale up programmatic management of drug-resistant TB in the WHO Western Pacific Region, and following the decision of the Stop TB Partnership Coordinating Board at its most recent meeting, the Green Light Committee (GLC) is establishing a GLC Western Pacific. This regional GLC will function as an advisory committee to the WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific, WHO’s Member States in the Pacific region, donors and partners. The Secretariat of the GLC Western Pacific will be hosted by the WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific.

Members of the GLC Western Pacific are expected to serve a term of two years, from July 2011 to June 2013. Members will be selected by a committee convened by the Stop TB Partnership and WHO based on consensus and an equitable distribution of experts across technical areas and constituencies. Experts from the Western Pacific region or with extensive experience in the region are strongly encouraged to apply.
