ntp – TB DIAH

USAID helps the Kyrgyz Republic combat tuberculosis through comprehensive data use and evidence

In June 2022, TB DIAH worked with the Kyrgyz Republic’s National TB Program (NTP) to use the project’s Data-to-Action Continuum (D2AC) to identify where the NTP resides on a continuum of data use for evidenced-based decision making.

The Time Is Now to Systematically Measure the Progress of Contact Investigation Efforts

Contact investigation (CI) is essential to active case finding and identifying contacts for TB preventive treatment. Expanding CI activities in countries with high TB burdens can help improve the effectiveness of TB prevention and care program activities. A toolkit from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) supports this effort by providing implementation guidance and adaptable tools for relevant stakeholders.
