CFCS Project
Accelerating access to person-centred care for people with TB: A survivor-led initiative in Bihar
REACH was awarded a grant from the Stop TB Partnership under Challenge Facility for Civil Society (CFCS) in September 2020. The project’s activities were designed to strengthen TB Mukt Vahini (TMV), Bihar’s TB survivor-led network. The overall goal of the project was to accelerate access to person-centred, rights-based and gender-responsive care for people with TB through the establishment of a sustainable peer support network and thereby the provision of comprehensive support through the care cascade.
