Suggested approaches in 2010 • To expand national TBTEAM with technical support being provided by several partners (needs additional funds); • To promote National TBTEAM's role in planning including the Global Fund proposal preparation and implementation, with involvement of civil society; • To expand TBTEAM's coordination function to include GLC, GLI, GDF and other TB areas; long-term as well as short-term TA; and harmonize with GF TB technical support • To hold regular TBTEAM coordination meetings at global/regional/country level, including by video/audio conference, that include all stakeholders, and that will review progress in coordinating external inputs to countries on a regular basis, and identify bottlenecks and solutions. • To develop a TA feed back strategy with core partner groups and link with roster.
