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. Our work focuses on collaborative planning, design, and implementation, engaging the private sector, strengthening service delivery platforms, and community structures to improve the quality of healthcare services in Nigeria.

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’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

Towards meeting the project set targets, KNCV Nigeria and partners adopts a mixed model of community and facility-based, health systems strengthening strategies and digital solutions to find TB cases.
