KNCV Nigeria is firmly equipped with technical and administrative capacity in strengthening the service delivery of TB, TB/HIV and other diseases of public health concern and a key player in research and innovation in Disease prevention and control in Nigeria. With Project footprints across all the states in Nigeria and FCT, KNCV Nigeria has remained a major player in TB Program and other public health interventions in Nigeria. We employ a systems approach, using data driven quality improvement methods to identify and address gaps in TB, TB/HIV diagnostic and management services.

The TB LON Project is funded by USAID Nigeria and focuses on locally generated solutions to provide TB prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and notification, while addressing stigma and discrimination. The TB LON region 1 and 2 project is to be implemented by KNCV TB foundation Nigeria to expand the provision of and increase access to TB services among formal and informal health providers through the engagement of the private sector, umbrella and local chapters of health and allied professional organizations, faith-based institutions, communities, and civil society.
The project is targeted at increasing the number of tuberculosis (TB) cases that are detected, treated, and notified to 437,895 within the five-year grant implementation period 2020 to 2025 and implemented across 14 states in Nigeria: Bauchi, Kaduna, Katsina, Kano, Nasarawa, Plateau, Taraba, Anambra, Akwa Ibom, Benue, Cross River, Delta, Imo and Rivers State. The project’s four intermediate results are as follows:
Improved access to high-quality, person-centered TB, DR-TB, and TB/Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (TB/HIV) services.
- Strengthened TB service delivery platforms.
- Reduced TB disease transmission and progression and
- Accelerated TB innovations with improved impact on program implementation.
KNCV Nigeria is working with a consortium of partners- two sub recipients- CCCRN and KNCV International and six strategic service package providers- Intrasat Global, IPCD, Jana Health Foundation, Diadem Consult, Public Health Concerns Ltd and TB Network.
