Key Resources by USAID Strategic Area

As part of its 2023-2030 Global Tuberculosis (TB) Strategy, USAID intends to work with partners worldwide to reach every person with tuberculosis, cure those in need of treatment, prevent new infections and progression to active TB disease, while scaling-up innovations in detection, care, and treatment, and fostering local ownership to sustain TB programs that contribute to pandemic preparedness.
