Regional Partnerships
The Eastern Mediterranean (EM) Partnership to Stop TB was launched on 6 May 2008. The EM Partnership has now its own organizational structure, namely Executive Board, Secretariat including Special Advisors, Resource Mobilization Committee and Working Group to Scale up TB care. Provisional members for the Board, Committee and Working Group were selected, and the Secretariat is hosted at the Stop TB Unit of the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office with acting Executive Secretary, Communication Officer and administrative staff.
The Stop TB Partnership for Europe was launched on 10 October 2006 at a meeting of 25 leading European organizations hosted by the International Federation of Red Cross and Crescent Societies in Geneva. It is a regional-level entity established under the umbrella of the Global Partnership to Stop TB, and aims to accelerate progress against the TB epidemic by promoting full funding and implementation of the Global Plan to Stop TB 2006-2015 in the European region.
