The Stop TB Partnership’s board is asking its secretariat to work with countries to find new ways to fund and grow tuberculosis programs, as traditional donor support starts to shrink — and to make sure civil society and people living with TB are part of the conversation.
The decision, made during the partnership’s recent board meeting in Manila, Philippines, highlights the precarious traditional donor funding landscape for global health, and how the sector is increasingly turning to domestic resources and alternative financing options, including through health taxes and blended finance.
The World Health Organization expects a 40% decline in donor funding for global health in 2025, compared to 2023 levels, driven by funding cuts from global health’s biggest sovereign donor — the United States — but also other countries in Europe.
