Multi-Country Western Pacific Integrated HIV/TB Project

The Multi-Country Western Pacific Integrated HIV/TB Project seeks to improve coverage of HIV and tuberculosis (TB) prevention, treatment and care in 11 Pacific island countries (Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu). The project focuses on HIV prevention initiatives for key populations; prevention of mother-to-child transmission; sexually transmitted infections and TB prevention, treatment and care services; TB/HIV coinfection and multi-drug resistant TB; and removing legal barriers to access and community systems strengthening. The project is supported through a three-year grant (2015 to 2017) grant from the Global Fund and is implemented as part of a collaboration between UNDP, Ministries of Health, regional partners and community-based organizations.
