Good COPs or Bad COPs 2.0: Advocacy to Ensure the Prioritization of TB in 2019 PEPFAR Country Operational Plans (COPs)

2019-01-23 09:00

Back by popular demand! As tuberculosis (TB) is the leading global killer of people living with HIV, TB programming must be prioritized and integrated within life-saving bilateral efforts such as PEPFAR. The expected release of the PEPFAR Country Operational Plans (COPs) provides a critical opportunity for advocates to ensure that the latest developments in TB treatment, prevention and diagnostics are implemented within PEPFAR countries.

Join Treatment Action Group, AVAC, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Health GAP, IMPAACT4TB, and RESULTS on Wednesday, January 23, 9-11am ET, for a webinar on how to strategize and engage in PEPFAR COPs planning to address and strengthen our global response to TB through PEPFAR, and introduce tools to galvanize advocacy efforts.

  • Albert Makone, Public Health Consultant and Health Activist
  • Lynette Mabote, Health Activist and Consultant
  • Martina Casenghi, CaP TB Project Technical Director, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation
