Open Call for Partnership: Sustaining the TBPPM Learning Network for a Collective Future to End TB
Since 2019, with the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre, the TBPPM Learning Network (TBPPM LN) has grown into a trusted global community for learning, collaboration, and action to advance the Public–Private Mix (PPM) for TB. Together, we have convened thousands of stakeholders, generated knowledge, and amplified diverse voices from across the world.
Now, as our current grant comes to an end, the future of this unique community of practice stands at a crossroads. Without new support, the knowledge, relationships, and momentum we have built risk being lost.
We believe this community is too vital to end here, and we are extending an open call for new partners and sponsors to help sustain and shape the road ahead.
Why Partner with TBPPM LN?
This opportunity comes at a pivotal moment. The global TB response faces constrained funding, an urgent need to integrate TB services within broader primary health care, and the necessity of localizing programs. Private and informal health providers remain the first point of care for millions, yet they are often under-resourced and under-engaged. The TBPPM Learning Network is uniquely positioned to bridge these gaps.
- Proven Impact: 4,500+ members and 150+ active PPM leaders driving change.
- Learning Footprint: 47 webinars, 40+ features, and 1,400+ knowledge resources — and still growing.
- Global Reach: Engaged members and partners spanning Asia, Africa, and beyond.
- Trusted Leadership: Recognized as a convenor, clarifier, and connector in the TB and PPM space.
- Flexible Partnership: Open to both financial and in-kind collaboration.
Join Us
We invite governments, donors, civil society, academia, and private sector partners to stand with us in sustaining and growing this essential platform for collaboration against TB.

- Funding partner – The partner organization provides funding either to support essential activities beyond 2026, ensuring the community remains active and engaged, or to support specific learning activities such as webinars, courses, or features, aligned with their priorities and strategy (~65,000 to 250,000 USD per year).
