Take ActionFunding the Fight Against TBInvestments to fight TB come from a variety of sources, including bilateral aid programs, multilateral funding agents, and endemic countries’ domestic resources. These funding sources vary substantially in both amount and quality. A recent increase in investments has helped to bolster the fight against TB, but additional resources must be mobilized to continue progress. Advocacy aimed both at increasing the flow of resources from external sources and expanding domestic investment in TB in endemic countries is required to realize a world without TB. The Lantos-Hyde AIDS, TB and Malaria Act of 2008 authorized $4 billion over five years in bilateral TB funding. The U.S. share of the global donor amount needed to implement the Global Plan to Stop TB and the WHO’s drug-resistant response plan is $4 billion. The U.S. contribution is one-third of donor country support, which is calculated by taking the U.S. proportion of all donor (high-income country) GDP.
