The Stop TB Partnership, Tajikistan

The Stop TB Partnership, Tajikistan (STBPT) brings together actors from various sectors of society across the country on a common platform to support and strengthen TB prevention, treatment, and care efforts. Partners include the private sector, civil society, and non-traditional actors such as VIPs, celebrities, journalists, and TB champions. All partners contribute from their core competencies and collectively catalyze an innovative approach to ending TB in Tajikistan.

STBPT was established on 30 July 2014 by 76 people with TB, former TB patients, their relatives, and representatives of organizations involved in the fight against TB, including mass media. It serves as a platform to prevent the spread of TB and ensure care and support for people and communities affected by TB. Since 10 April 2018, it has been registered with the Ministry of Justice as the Association “Stop TB Partnership, Tajikistan.” Today, it functions as a national network to convene and represent civil society and communities, conduct community-level TB monitoring and advocacy, support community-driven service delivery, provide technical assistance to public organizations, and serve as the technical focal point for CSS and community responses.
