We see TB as a public health problem affecting individuals and the entire society. Our TB control involved advocacy, communication and social mobilization of communities against the scourge of TB. We worked with community leaders and members on spreading information about DOTS and also carried out interpersonal communication and counseling for youths on tuberculosis. IEC materials have also been distributed in various communities. We have trained over 270 CBOs and over 2700 community volunteers to provide community TB care in 18 states in Nigeria |

We are working with over 400 CBOs who provide social mobilization on TB issues and over 4500 community volunteers who have been trained to identify and refer suspects. This CVs are linked to the DOT centres for easy referral and access to health care. We have successfully rolled out the project in 18 States while taken over the initial 6 States where the project was piloted, making a total of 24 states where we are at present. This is due to our vast experience in Social Mobilisation and Training. We were sub-sub recipients in the Global Fund Round 5 Phase II TB Project with Inter-Gender Development Centre, Jos, in the 3rd and 6th quarter of the year 2007/2008.
