ALLIES Project

The ALLIES project was implemented by REACH between 2019 and 2024. This was done in collaboration with NTEP and with support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in 15 districts of four priority states – Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha and Tamil Nadu. The ALLIES project strove to create an enabling environment for TB elimination by leveraging community action as an ally to build a culture of accountability and empower communities, including those most marginalised. 

Central to the ALLIES project was the Community Accountability Framework (CAF), intended to improve the Quality of Care (QoC) and Quality of Services (QoS) for people and communities affected by TB, by adopting a solution-oriented, community-led monitoring approach. The CAF was envisaged as a bottom-up approach to the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) Multi Sectoral Accountability Framework and is based on the key principles of integrity, inclusivity, effectiveness and actionability.
