This presentation explores USAID's efforts to accelerate progress to end Tuberculosis (TB), the Global Accelerator to End TB, and how the agency is working with local organizations to fight TB.
3. • Announced by Administrator Green at the UNGA in
September 2018
• Part of USAID New Acquisition and Assistance Strategy
and Journey to Self-Reliance
• Will leverage additional resources from countries,
private sector partners, and other local organizations:
– To meet the UN target of treating 40 million people
by 2022
– To better align with local communities and partners
to deliver performance-based results towards the
global target
– To ensure USAID is fighting to end TB effectively
and efficiently

USAID Global Accelerator to End Tuberculosis
The USAID Global TB
Accelerator focuses on locally-
generated solutions that tailor our
TB diagnosis, treatment and
prevention response to the needs
of people and communities, while
addressing stigma and
5. • Sept 2018: Administrator’s announcement of Accelerator: “USAID will work directly with nearly 50 local entities within TB priority
countries to provide accessible services, resulting in increased diagnosis and treatment success rates.”
• December 2018: USAID A&A Strategy – First guiding principle is Diversifying the Partner Base
“The concentration of our portfolio in so few hands does not adequately serve the Agency, our partners, our beneficiaries, or U.S. taxpayers. We commit to
shifting this trend by engaging new partners and investing more holistically in local entities, as well as locally established partners that catalyze
resources toward partner countries’ Journey to Self-Reliance.”
• Specific reference to partnership with local organizations including FBOs on TB in the Administration’s FY2020 budget request,
and again in recent Administrator testimony at Congressional budget hearing.
• In line with these priorities, the LON APS is an opportunity to facilitate missions to reach their goals for the TB Accelerator and USAID
JTSR more broadly, by creating a fast track mechanism for direct partnerships with local organizations including FBOs to
implement locally-generated solutions to improve TB services while empowering local stakeholders in TB priority countries.
• International NGOs and FBOs have a role with working with sub-recipients to strengthen and complement their capacity.

11. Vital Role of FBOs in Achieving PMI’s goals
We recognize that as countries continue to make progress towards malaria elimination,
the work of faith-based organizations (FBOs) will become even more vital in reaching
hard to reach communities. FBOs embody local ownership, capacity building, and
sustainability. Their roots often extend to the deepest levels of societies.
Religious leaders, along with their well-established networks of volunteers and
community groups, play pivotal roles in promoting and sustaining positive changes in the
social norms, attitudes, and behaviors of their communities, which affect malaria
elimination outcomes. And, in many of PMI’s partner countries faith-based organizations
provide malaria treatment services at health facilities they own. Thus, PMI wants to
engage FBOs to facilitate greater partnership in, as well as ownership of, malaria control
efforts at the community level.
