| Organization Description: | |
| To advocate for national access to information, treatment, care and support for people infected and affected by TB and HIV/AIDS in Zambia, with special concern for those with drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR/XDR), women and children. CITAM is an advocacy organisation that was set up by PLHIV during the time when research showed that TB was the leading killer of PLHIV. We started off working with the 31s of Stop TB. Our main focus is policy analysis and policy advocacy. We work at community, national, regional and global levels. We also work with policy makers. We also carry out trainings, door to door sensitization, produce TB and TB/HIV IEC materials, sit on the country CCM representing TB, part of the TB/HIV Collaborative Body, MoH TB Technical working group. At international level our members are members of GF and UNITAID communities delegations and work very closely with the Stop TB Partnership at global level. CITAM works very closely with NTP and buys into the NTP Strategy. We work around ACSM. |

| We are part of the NTP ACSM Committee, and on the ground focus on Advocacy Communication and Social Mobiliztion. We also work around intensified case finding, ensure provision of IPT, and sensitize the patients at the clinics on infection control through health talks. We also analyse TB and TB/HIV policies, guidelines etc and simplify this into a language the communities will understand and this creates demand on the ground. We then ensure that these policies are having the intended impact on the ground - if not we then engage the national level to share the gaps and find a solution. We are a community based organisation which works in, with and for the affected communities. |
