The Stop TB Partnership was established in 2001 to eliminate tuberculosis as a public health problem. Its 2000 partner organizations include international, nongovernmental and governmental organizations and patient groups. The secretariat is based in Geneva, Switzerland, and, since 2015, has been administered by UNOPS. Previously it was hosted by the World Health Organization.[1]
It is governed by a Board,[2] supported by two standing board committees, the Executive Committee, and the Finance Committee. The current Executive Director of the Stop TB Partnership is Dr. Lucica Ditiu.[3] The STBP Board provides leadership and direction, ensures coordination within the Stop TB Partnership, and monitors the implementation of agreed policies, plans, and activities of the Secretariat.
