The TB Challenge
March 2023
The TB Challenge initiative aimed to raise awareness about tuberculosis (TB) through community radio stations. The report contains the details of the 5 months long project. A multi-pronged approach was adopted, focusing on screening, testing, and treating infected individuals. Baseline and endline surveys were conducted to assess the impact of the project, revealing significant improvements in knowledge about TB and government support. However, stigma surrounding TB remains a challenge, emphasizing the need for ongoing engagement and efforts to reduce stigma and promote health-seeking behavior within the community.
