Preamble

The UNOPS Geneva office is hosting the Stop TB Partnership Secretariat (STBP) as of 1 January 2015, providing a range of financial and administrative support services to various units of the STBP secretariat. The STBP, under the direction of the Executive Secretary, is leading the way to a world without tuberculosis (TB), a curable disease but still kills three people every minute. Founded in 2001, the Partnership's mission is to serve every person vulnerable to TB and ensure that high-quality treatment is available to all who need it.

For global and country-level advocacy, the Stop TB Partnership is looking for proposals from media platforms that can partner with Stop TB Partnership to deliver a series of high-level virtual events, digital content, and promotional campaigns on tuberculosis (TB). The supplier should be an established media platform with a wide readership, especially in the development and global health community. The media platform should be reputable and recognizable to add value to Stop TB Partnership when events and contents are co-branded.

The objective of the media partnership is to support an advocacy/awareness-raising campaign in the lead up to the UN High-Level Meeting (UN HLM) on TB in 2023, improving visibility and boosting outreach to the target audience, professionals with a specific interest in the global health arena, including donors, government officials, civil society and stakeholders.
