Forging Partnerships to Eliminate Tuberculosis

The purpose of the guide is to provide TB controllers and state and local TB programs with the basic information they need to create and sustain productive TB partnerships. The purpose of the toolkit is to make it easier to implement the tips and strategies provided in the guide. The guide and toolkit emphasize reaching and involving nontraditional partners in TB prevention and control efforts. The guide and toolkit are designed to be used with partners to facilitate the planning of new intervention strategies and the strengthening of existing ones. No single solution or plan will meet the needs of every TB program— creativity, perseverance, and productive partners are needed to make TB prevention and control efforts successful.
