Multi-country Western Pacific Programme
The Multi-Country Western Pacific Programme is a multi-year, regional grant supported through the Global Fund that encompasses both a HIV/TB programme and a malaria programme.
The HIV/TB programme aims to improve the coverage and quality of HIV/TB prevention, treatment and care in 11 participating Western Pacific countries (Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu). This includes: prevention programmes for key populations; prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV; prevention, treatment and care services for HIV, STI and TB; addressing TB/HIV coinfection and multi-drug resistant TB; removing legal barriers to access; and community systems strengthening.
