Applications for Stop TB Partnership Challenge Facility for Civil Society Round 11
The Stop TB Partnership (STBP) is pleased to announce that the call for proposals for Round 11 of its Challenge Facility for Civil Society (CFCS) is now OPEN, with the largest ever amount of USD 9 million to be awarded to Tuberculosis (TB) affected communities and civil society to strengthen advocacy, partnerships, and work towards addressing social justice, discrimination, stigma, human rights and accountability within the TB Response.
Deadline to submit applications: 14 March 2022 (18:00 Central European Time)
Challenge Facility for Civil Society Round 11 will build on past investments and leverage new and available evidence to ensure TB is part of the national, regional and global agenda through advanced partnerships and advocacy. The investments are focused on ensuring the strong presence of TB on national health agendas, funding opportunities, community-led engagement, human rights, and gender equality to save lives. CFCS Round 11 will be the biggest ever round with USD 9 million in funding due to the generous support from USAID and support from the Global Fund. Last year’s Round 10 consisted of USD 7.5 million.
