Welcome to the discussion on the agenda of the Third Stop TB Partners' Forum
SIMPLY, STOPPING TB
We can stop TB. Simply. We are making strides to stop it now. But we simply must do more, and we can.
It is with this message in mind that we move towards the Third Stop TB Partners' Forum, which will take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 23 to 25 March 2009. This will be an open and dynamic forum where people engaged in the global fight against TB can share successes, identify barriers and inspire each other to move to a new level in the global fight against TB.
The Stop TB Partnership, whose secretariat is hosted by the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, is a network of more then 700 international organizations, countries, donors from the public and private sectors, and nongovernmental and governmental organizations that are working together to eliminate TB. The Partnership's Global Plan to Stop TB 2006-2015 sets forth a roadmap for halving TB prevalence and deaths compared with 1990 levels by 2015.
The Partners' Forum is the General Assembly of the Stop TB Partnership and serves to bring partners together to renew their commitment and intensify their efforts to reach the targets of the Global Plan.
The Forum belongs to all people who envision a world free of TB; and participants are invited to collaborate on setting priorities for the agenda through this discussion group.
