| Organization Description: | |
| CYDI is a non-governmental organization founded, in 2001, on principle that true development is self-development. Its mission is to “reach and work with young people (10-24 years) and their guardians to build their capacity in order to improve their health and socio-economic welfare”. After 12 years of working on HIV&AIDS, it has became obvious that TB was the greatest challenge facing our clients living with HIV. CYDI had to become involved in TB Control due to the cahhelnges faced by our clients who have TB/HIV Co-infection. At the moment, CYDI is working with Imo state Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control program to... 1. To promote behaviour change in the community 2. To improve the timely detection and quality treatment of TB cases 3. To reduce the incidence of TB among PLHIV |
