Stop TB Partnership Annual Report 2015

In 2015, the Stop TB Partnership launched the very ambitious Global Plan to End TB 2016 – 2020: The Paradigm Shift. Without a clear investment plan and a complete overhaul in how this disease is tackled, TB is unlikely to be eliminated until the end of the 22nd century.

The new Global Plan 2016-2020 sets out the actions and resources needed over the next five years to set the world on a course to end the global TB epidemic by 2030, as endorsed by world leaders in the newly adopted Sustainable Development Goals. The Plan makes it clear that what is needed to end TB is a paradigm shift - a change in the way we fight TB at every level, in every community, in every health facility, in every country. To stay on national and international agendas, TB needs diverse country champions, strong engagement from multiple public sectors, businesses and the civil society.
