In a statement on the anniversary of USAID’s Global Accelerator to End TB, USAID Acting Administrator John Barsa notes, “Over the past two years, the Accelerator has made impressive progress in building national commitment and capacity to respond to TB. … As the world comes together in fighting COVID-19, it is important to prevent a reversal in our efforts to end TB. … As the U.S. Government’s lead agency on efforts to eliminate TB around the globe, USAID will continue to build national capacity to recover from COVID-19’s setbacks and end TB” (9/29).
