How TB REACH Works

Reaching TB-affected people and communities wherever they are

TB REACH promotes innovation at its core. We SEEK ground-up, innovative ideas with the potential to reach more people with TB and revolutionize TB diagnosis and care.

We deploy a RAPID selection and funding process that guarantees that successful applicants receive on-the-ground funding for their ideas within 3 months of selection to make sure that people receive care as soon as possible.

We implement RIGOROUS monitoring and evaluation to document how promising solutions actually work, and a strong body of field-tested evidence for scale-up and development is delivered.

We LEVERAGE the knowledge and experience of TB affected communities and global experts within the Stop TB Partnership to ensure that approaches are people-centered, effective at ground-level, and are promoted by global health stakeholders.

We ensure a versatile TB REACH approach to:

  • link TB programming to other pressing development issues, such as the empowerment of women & girls, and reaching the hard-to-reach, often neglected vulnerable populations.
  • promote private sector engagement in TB programming;
  • Utilize new technology to benefit people with TB and improve TB care
