On June 29, 2023 TB DIAH staff introduced three of the essential tools developed by the project for the evaluation of different elements of M&E systems of national TB programs: the Assessment of Reporting Capacity (ARC), the M&E and Surveillance Systems Assessment (MESSA), and the Capacity Assessment Tool.
The webinar was especially designed for country-based and global USAID staff, NTP staff, and IPs interested in better understanding the strengths and areas for improvement in their TB M&E and surveillance system including TB human resources capacity, TB M&E system structure and governance, and the collection, analysis, and use of data for decision-making.
Participants left the webinar understanding what each of these tools measure, the types of data they generate, and how together those data can provide a complete picture of the status of a country’s TB M&E and surveillance system and inform their system strengthening plans.
