Target TB works in partnership with local organisations in developing countries who share our vision of a world free from TB, and who are committed to supporting communities most affected by the disease.
Target TB works in partnership with a wide range of organisations at local, national and international level. We focus our efforts in areas with high levels of TB and poverty, and currently support initiatives in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. We also partner with international organisations and networks to strengthen global TB control efforts.
We are keen to build upon our existing partnerships as well as develop new relationships with a range of actors at local, national and international level to include non-governmental organisations, advocacy groups, research bodies and academic institutions engaged in activities to support global TB efforts.
Target TB works closely with its partners to develop proposals to access donor support, to provide technical advice to strengthen their TB project work as well as support and training focussed on building the strength of partner organisations. Our partners also benefit from sharing their experience and learning from similar organisations across the Target TB network.

International Partners Meeting 2010
During Target TB’s strategic planning for the period 2009-12 we asked partners for feedback on how we work together. All expressed a keen interest in meeting with each other to share ideas and learning.
Our Southern-based partners have a large amount of accumulated experience on TB control and we recognise that we need to develop opportunities to use this learning more effectively.
This meeting and workshop in India was aligned with our current strategic objective of building links with organisations and developing mutually beneficial partnerships. Holding this meeting in India, which has
the highest TB burden in the world and where Target TB’s partners carry out a considerable amount of work, was also felt to be a relevant contextual setting.
The meeting was held between 14th and 17th September 2010, at Ideal Beach Resort, Mahaballipuram, Tamil Nadu. 23 participants from 12 partner organisations across 6 countries (India, Malawi, Timor-Leste, Uganda, United Kingdom and Zambia) were present.
