TB Data, Impact Assessment, and Communications Hub (TB DIAH) Project

The TB Data, Impact Assessment, and Communications Hub project works to improve and harness existing tuberculosis (TB) data and knowledge sharing on TB worldwide.

TB DIAH project:

• Strengthens collection, analysis, and use of routine and nonroutine TB data.
• Improves performance-based monitoring and evaluation (M&E) frameworks and information gathering. This includes improved design and implementation of tools, methods, and technical guidance to meet user needs.
• Strengthens reporting and communication about methods, tools, and approaches.

The performance-based management system is an interactive, one-stop, online and interactive communications repository and data hub for TB data users that will:

• Enable USAID, NTPs, and TB experts to find, download, and query or analyze TB data for maximizing and synergizing investments toward ending TB.
• Identify data sources, resources, and systems in USAID priority countries to help missions and programs monitor progress toward country goals and global targets.
• Be a decision-support tool for country data users and managers on investment, policy, research, and operations.
• Provide templates of easy-to-use, interactive dashboards and data visualizations of TB data that countries can adapt for data analysis, M&E, and reporting.
• Provide curated best practices, information, and materials for stronger data reporting and increased data analysis and use in this communications repository.
• Enable TB DIAH communications repository and TB data hub users to share methods, tools, and approaches.

The TB Data, Impact Assessment, and Communications Hub is the first activity under USAID's Global Accelerator to End Tuberculosis strategy. The project is housed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), and is managed by a team from UNC and John Snow, Inc.
