Empowering Public Health with Tuberculosis Training in Africa

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a critical public health challenge in Africa, claiming over 4,600 lives daily worldwide and ranking as the leading infectious cause of death. MEASURE Evaluation, a USAID-funded initiative, highlights the importance of robust monitoring and evaluation (M&E) to combat TB effectively. At Africa Training Institute, our tuberculosis training in Africa equips professionals with the skills to strengthen TB programs, improve patient outcomes, and support global efforts to end TB by 2035.

Why TB Monitoring and Evaluation Matters

TB is a curable disease, yet it affects 10.4 million people annually, including 1 million children. In Africa, high TB/HIV co-infection rates make timely data and quality care essential. MEASURE Evaluation’s work, including Quality of TB Services Assessments (QTSAs), shows that strong M&E systems help identify gaps in care, enhance service delivery, and track progress toward TB elimination. Our TB Monitoring and Evaluation Course teaches professionals to develop indicators, analyze data, and create M&E plans tailored to national TB programs.
