<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN lang=EN-GB
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The relationship
between TB and poverty has been explored in depth as a result of the 2002 World
TB Day theme “Stop TB, fight poverty”. With input from many international
experts on health and equity, and with practical contributions from TB control
managers in high burden countries the main barriers faced by poor people
attempting access TB programmes have been identified. It is clear that poor
people face specific difficulties in accessing health services and experience
long delays before the diagnosis of TB can be made.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN lang=EN-GB
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Based on these
findings, the Coordinating Board of the Stop TB Partnership has endorsed the
setting up of a Network for Action on TB and Poverty to become a platform for
innovative implementation and sharing of experiences. Furthermore the Network
aims to be the catalyst for expansion of best practice as TB control activities
extend and adapt the DOTS strategy to better meet the needs of the poor and help
meet the global target of 70% TB case detection.</SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The Network aims to
bring together TB Control and Poverty experts with different backgrounds and
interests to create a synergy for more coordinated action in support of
countries and the poor in particular. Ultimately the Network is expected to be
competent at all stages of the cycle of activities required to promote useful
action at country level in those places where the needs of the poor are
greatest. It is, however, recognised that not all stages of the action
cycle (programming, identification, appraisal, financing, implementation and
evaluation) can be established immediately. Establishing and
embedding a global Network for Action on TB & Poverty with all of these
functionalities will take time and further financial investment. The
STOP-TB Partnership therefore envisages a phased development of the Network as
follows:</SPAN></FONT></P>
