Following the success of the community engagement and participation approach for the 2018 UN High-Level Meeting (UNHLM) on TB, it was agreed a similar approach will be crucial to the success of the 2023 UNHLM on TB. The Stop TB Partnership is seeking to select an organization or a consortium that will mobilize, engage, and coordinate communities and people affected by TB, support the advocacy agenda and messages of affected communities, and ensure a united civil society and community voice leading up to, during, and following the 2023 UNHLM on TB.

The Community Delegation to the Stop TB Partnership Board announced a call for applications for the position of the Constituency Focal Point (CFP). The role of CFP is central for the functioning of the Delegation, its work and relations with the constituency, other Delegations to the Stop TB Partnership Board and external partners.

The Community Advisory Panel (CAP) is a new mechanism aimed to provide advice to the Medicines Patent Pool (MPP) and its Expert Advisory Group (EAG). Accordingly, community representatives and other individuals with lived experience across a variety of disease areas within MPP’s broad mandate (i.e., HIV, viral hepatitis, TB, malaria, cancer, diabetes, COVID-19, and reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health) are invited to apply.
