Problem Statement In Tanzania there is no systematic or real time (timely) data collection of barriers that prevent people from accessing TB services and completing TB treatment (i.e. the missing people with TB ) As a result Ø Care and Support Responses that address the barriers to access are late (e.g. drug stock outs, which can lead to treatment interruptions even Ø death) Ø Monitoring, Surveillance, Advocacy and Engagement Community advocacy is not evidence based Ø Evaluating services is difficult due to the absence of data Ø Limited engagement and feedback mechanism between CS/CG/TB-Patients and key decision making platforms (NTLP, TNCM, Ø MoH, TAMISEMI) Ø Programmatic Management of TB Planning is uninformed and does not respond the problems faced by those vulnerable to, at risk of and with TB Ø Ø It is difficult to justify a multi-sectoral approach, that links people to appropriate services K I K U U A U N F A K I U A K Y I M O W N A I B T M A N A Z P A A M N I * A *
