Despite a steadily declining tuberculosis (TB) rate, averaging 8% per year, Ethiopia continues to be a high-TB-burden country. By building upon previous TB control efforts, the five-year USAID Eliminate TB Project will accelerate and sustain TB elimination efforts in Ethiopia to meet the End TB targets by 2035.
USAID Eliminate TB Project aims to reduce TB incidence and mortality by increasing the quality, access, utilization, and sustainability of TB services in five regions across Ethiopia. By engaging public and private stakeholders, the project will improve TB services through four key strategies:
Increase expansion and utilization of TB diagnostics and technology
Improve quality-assured and patient-centered TB care and management
Implement high impact case finding strategies and prevention methods
Build the capacity of health system support, ensuring country ownership and sustainability
