Jobs at UNOPS

UNOPS hosts the Stop Tuberculosis Partnership Secretariat (STBP) in Geneva, Switzerland. The vision of the Stop TB Partnership is to realize the goal of elimination of Tuberculosis (TB) as a public health problem and, ultimately, to obtain a world free of TB by ensuring that every TB patient has access to effective diagnosis, treatment and cure; stopping transmission of TB; reducing the inequitable social and economic toll of TB; and developing and implementing new preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic tools and strategies. The Stop Partnership is uniquely positioned to support the development and further implementation by partners of the current and future Global Plan, acting as a coordinator and catalyst for the range of partners engaged in the fight against TB.

Founded in 2001, the Stop TB Partnership's mission is to serve every person who is vulnerable to TB and ensure that high-quality treatment is available to all who need it. Stop TB partners include international and technical organizations, government programmes, research and funding agencies, foundations, NGOs, civil society and community groups and the private sector. We recently published the Global Plan to End 2023 -2030 which provides a blueprint of priority actions required and a detailed estimate of financial resources needed to end TB.

The Partnerships and Technical Coordination Specialist position will be administered by STBP but will mostly work with the Global Fund managed TB Situation Room. It is a critical position to support partners and the Global Fund maximize the impact of Investment in TB. The incumbent will ensure there is coordination among partners specifically World Health Organization (WHO), USAID, The Stop TB Partnerships, Gates Foundation, and the Global Fund.
