Supporting NTPs with TB DIAH’s ARC Tool
Abstract: The USAID-funded TB Data, Impact Assessment and Communications Hub (TB DIAH) project developed the Assessment of Data Collection, Reporting, and Analysis Capacity (ARC) Tool to bolster USAID’s efforts to strengthen country TB M&E systems. This assessment assists USAID Missions and national TB programs (NTPs) with mapping the readiness and capacity of countries’ existing TB M&E and surveillance systems to collect, report, analyze, and use the data generated to improve their TB response.
The ARC Tool draws from the PBMEF and systematically reviews TB programs’ capacity to measure outputs and outcomes against standardized indicators in the framework. This process is a critical initial step in developing a comprehensive landscape analysis by identifying strengths and weaknesses in a country’s surveillance system. Findings from each country are compiled in a detailed report with visuals from the TB DIAH Data Hub (https://hub.tbdiah.org).
