The Stop TB Partnership has announced a call for proposals for the fifth round of the Challenge Facility for Civil Society (CFCS)- the world’s leading small grant mechanism for grass-roots level community work on tuberculosis (TB).

The Challenge Facility will support civil society activities designed to attract greater attention of key stakeholders.

Successful applicants will receive grants between US$ 5,000 and US$ 20,000.

Applicants must be civil society organisations, especially at grass roots level from countries affected by TB whose work focuses on advocacy.

The special focus of the successful applications should be on activities that build the capacity of civil society to advocate for services and contribute to the creation of a network of advocates prepared to speak out and raise consciousness about challenges in reaching affected communities with TB care.

The deadline to submit your applications is 30 September 2012.
