The project aimed at a multi-pronged impact wherein the survivor led networks are able to leverage their collaborations within the community and key stakeholders to strengthen adoption of CRGS principles for equitable access to TB services while also building their capacity as a network in the process.
This project was an extension of CRG work in different contexts in India. REACH conducted three CRG rapid assessments; Gender and TB, Data for action for KVP populations, Legal Environment Assessment for TB in India and has also developed the Strategy to end TB and discrimination associated with TB. While REACH implemented CRG work through Stop TB Partnership’s round 9 of Challenge Facility for Civil Society (CFCS), the project also percolated the understanding about CRGS principles to the last mile, otherwise only discussed at the national level by policy actors.

REACH’s mandate is to work towards achieving equitable health for all, with a focus on tuberculosis and non-communicable diseases.
