TB REACH - Results Wave 1

TB REACH collects case finding data quarterly from all of its grantees and has an independent agency that is tasked with monitoring and evaluating progress of all projects.

Analysis for 28 Wave 1 TB REACH projects showed that intervention areas delivered an average of 25.9% increase in case detection while some projects have seen increases of 60% to over 100%. In human terms, this translates into an additional 17,223 people so far that would otherwise have continued to infect others - many of whom would have died.

Cost: Through March 2012, 28 projects spent $14.9 million with some reaching additional cases for as low as $140. The projects covered a population of almost 90 million people. Average spent per capita of population covered per year is 0.17 USD.
