KNCV TB Plus in collaboration with the Child and Adolescent TB Working Group have the honor to host the webinar "Dissemination of self-assessment results and sharing of best practices to improve TB service delivery for children and adolescents".

What will be covered in the webinar?

This webinar will feature country-led presentations to disseminate the findings of National TB Programs’ self-assessment using the KNCV Benchmarking and Planning Tool to assess national TB service delivery for children and adolescents and sharing of best practices to improve service delivery. 

Through a self-assessment process, countries have evaluated their achievements, identified service delivery gaps and challenges, and reviewed the implementation of the latest WHO recommendations to ensure effective and equitable TB care.

Three countries, Ethiopia, Gambia and Tanzania, will share key findings from their assessments and present prioritized actions to address, based on the gaps identified, and developed strategies in collaboration with national and international stakeholders to strengthen TB service delivery and accelerate progress for children and adolescents.

Through this webinar you will gain insights into identification of critical gaps in policy implementation, service coverage, and access to care, with key learnings to prioritize gaps and design action plans tailored to your context.
