WHO’s Department for HIV, TB, Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections is pleased to invite you to this webinar series 2, focused on the technical component of TB programmes in the context of Global Fund GC8 funding requests.
As countries prepare their Global Fund GC8 funding requests for TB and HIV, intensive technical and strategic groundwork is underway. This period is critical for ensuring that proposals are not only robust and technically sound but also closely aligned with global guidance and national priorities. WHO recognizes the importance of supporting countries to develop high-quality proposals that incorporate cross-programmatic and health system strengthening (RSSH) elements, ultimately enhancing the impact and sustainability of TB and HIV programmes.
Date and time
25 March 2026 | 10:00–11:30 (CET)
The webinar will be conducted in English. Francophone experts will remain available to respond in French during the session.
Objectives
The objective of this deep dive webinar is to empower countries to submit GC8 proposals that are comprehensive, evidence-based, and responsive to both global and national priorities. This webinar will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, capacity building, and direct engagement with technical experts, ensuring that proposals advance the shared goal of ending TB and strengthening health systems worldwide.
In this webinar, WHO will:
- share the latest updates on WHO recommendations and operational guidance on TB;
