The USAID-supported Tuberculosis Health Action Learning Initiative (THALI) project in Kolkata and adjoining districts aims to catalyze a dynamic process of identifying, developing, testing, and scaling up successful innovative solutions to strengthen urban TB control, especially amongst urban slum dwellers, with a focus on women and girls.
To achieve complete coverage, testing innovative strategies and generating accurate and timely data to strengthen evidence-based decision-making becomes a necessity. To improve dialogue among the multiple stakeholders that play a role in TB prevention, the project, launched Knowledge Cafés — a platform for on-going sharing of ideas and best practices to inform the planning and implementation of TB service delivery.
