WORKSHOPS WEDNESDAY 26 OCTOBER 2016
WORKSHOP 12 3 14:45-17:45 3 SESSION ROOM 3B
BUILDING CAPACITY FOR INCREASED ATTENTION AND SUPPORT FOR INTEGRATING MIGRANTS
AND MOBILE POPULATIONS IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL TB PROGRAMMES
Section: Tuberculosis
The overall objective of this workshop is to increase attention and support for access to TB prevention, treatment and care services for migrants and
mobile populations. Through building capacity of the participants, the workshop will enable an increase in the application of recommended strategies
and programmatic approaches by participants when they return to their countries and work to address TB and migration issues. The workshop will
utilise validated tools and training materials developed and delivered by experts from The Global Fund, Stop TB Partnership, IOM, who will jointly
adapt these key affected populations materials to suit The Union workshop on TB and migration. Civil society organisations, researchers and migrants
themselves will be speakers, sharing real operational research evidence from diverse regions of the world including Eastern Europe, Southern Africa
and South Asia - all regions of both high migration and TB rates, including MDR-TB challenges.
Outcomes:
1) After the workshop, attendees will utilise rights-based approaches, guidelines for working with key populations and updated evidence-based
approaches in TB programming for migrants and mobile populations.
2) Migrants and mobile population beneficiaries and community groups will improve their efforts to integrate with national TB services,
and to mobilise resources for TB.
Outputs:
1) Package of TB guidance and tools for key populations and communities adapted and relevant to migration context is available.
2) ‘I am a migrant’ stories, from the ongoing IOM campaign, will be adapted to collect and edit TB and migration stories. These stories will be
packaged for case studies during the workshop and be made available on IOM websites and disseminated to partners to raise understanding
of wide range of challenges faced by migrants (workers, refugees, internally displaced, cross-border temporary migrants, trafficked persons,
students and other long-term visa applicants, family reunification, etc.)

WORKSHOP 13 3 14:45-17:45 3 SESSION ROOM 1B
CIVIL SOCIETY: BECOMING EQUAL AND KEY PARTNERS IN THE NATIONAL TB RESPONSE
Track: Civil society and community engagement
There has been insufficient engagement of communities and civil society (CS) in the TB response. The traditional top-down, passive biomedical
approach to TB has resulted in unmotivated, poorly organised, unintegrated and underfunded communities. Strong networks of civil society partners
that engage at a national level and represent, support and are accountable to their constituencies are required if civil society and communities are to
be equal and valued partners. By mapping the community response to identify and address barriers and gaps in representation, systems and services
the Stop TB Partnership’s Challenge Facility for Civil Society (CFCS) Round 7 grantees are building collaborative inclusive civil society networks
at a national level that create the critical partnerships needed to engage in and strengthen a comprehensive and integrated community response.
Few countries have existing CS networks operating at a national level. Lessons and achievements from CFCS Round 7 grantees can inform and
encourage countries to establish national civil society networks that support and operationalise the implementation of community-driven
and more inclusive leadership in the response to TB.
