| Organization Description: | |
| Nigeria has the highest tuberculosis (TB) burden in Africa and is 4th among the 22 countries with high TB burden globally (2009 Global TB report). The estimated incidence for all cases is 311 per 100,000 pop (460,000). Although the National TB control programme (NTP) aims at detecting 70% of these cases and cure 85% of them, only about a third are being detected annually. Some of reasons for this very low case detection include low level of awareness among the populace on TB as well as low political commitment from policy makers. The Nigeria Stop TB partnership (NSTBP) was created to support the NTBLCP address these challenges. It was envisaged that the NSTBP would be a platform where by all civil society organizations (CSOs) working in TB in the country will buy into the National TB plan according to their individual expertise so as to improve the above mentioned programme targets. | |
