| Organization Description: | |
| UNDP is the United Nations' global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in 177 countries, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. Our focus is helping countries build and share solutions to the challenges of Democratic Governance, Poverty Reduction, Crisis Prevention & Recovery, Environment & Energy and HIV/AIDS. UNDP is working with a broad range of partners to help create coalitions for change to support achievement of the Millennium Development Goals,at global, regional and national levels, to benchmark progress towards them, and to help countries to build the institutional capacity, policies and programmes to achieve the MDGs, including the MDG to promote the goal to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases including tuberculosis. Within the context of UNDP's partnership with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, UNDP is directly supporting implementation of TB grants as the Principal Recipient of Last Resort in a number of countries across all regions. In addition UNDP is working on addressing social determinants of health, including TB. TB has often been described as a disease of poverty. Despite the enormous success of DOTS in treating and caring for those infected with TB, DOTS on its own is unlikely to achieve sustained, effective TB control globally. Combination approaches that simultaneously address the social and the biomedical dimensions of TB are urgently needed. In collaboration with a variety of partners, including WHO’s StopTB programme, UNDP is exploring such combination approaches, leveraging its experience in supporting action on the social determinants of HIV. Specifically, UNDP is exploring the ways in which emerging work in HIV-sensitive social protection might be translated to address the underlying socio-economic drivers of TB. UNDP is also working to promo |

DOTS Expansion and Enhancement: The Global Fund achieves its goals through a broad range of partnerships, of which its relationship with UNDP is a crucial component. Since 2003, the UNDP-Global Fund Partnership has focused on three interrelated objectives: (i) Supporting implementation, with UNDP serving as temporary Principal Recipient (PR) of Global Fund grants in countries facing exceptional development challenges and/or complex emergencies [in most other countries the Principal Recipients are national entities, i.e. Ministries of Health or national Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)]; (ii) Developing the capacity of national entities to take over the management of Global Fund programmes as soon as circumstances permit, or to improve their performance when they are already serving as Principal Recipients; and (iii) Strengthening policy and programme quality of Global Fund-related work, both at country and global levels, in line with UNDP’s role as a cosponsor of UNAIDS and UNDP’s core mandates in governance and capacity development. As of 1 December 2011, UNDP is supporting implementation of TB and/or TB/HIV grants by serving as temporary PR in 21 countries/territories, with 22 active grants (2-5 year duration). These countries include Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kyrgyzstan, Republic of Montenegro, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Bolivia, Cuba, El Salvador, Haiti, Iraq, Sudan, South Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic, West Bank and Gaza, Iran, Liberia, Sao Tome and Principe, Togo, Zambia and Zimbabwe and support all key interventions in TB programming including DOTS Expansion and Enhancement, Drug Resistant TB, TB-HIV, Laboratory Strengthening, Fundamental Research and Operational Research.
