Archive of outdated tools from Challenge TB, TB CARE I, TB CAP and partners
A collection of country-approved tools that are applied in the TB IC demonstration site in Zambia. In some cases globally available tools have been modified to take into consideration local needs and conditions. Other tools had to be developed. All the tools are adaptable for use.
Effective TB Infection Control Safety without stigma.
The estimation and projection of costs are essential for the planning, budgeting, financing and evaluation of TB services. To meet this need TB CARE I has developed four costing tools which are presented in this four-page document.
The TB Economic Burden Analysis Tool allows the user to estimate the economic burden of TB to families and society as a while. It comprises the cost of service delivery, patient cost (such as transport), and productivity losses due to illness and premature death. It is intended for advocacy and has been used in Indonesia for that purpose (see report) – The package contains two excel files, one filled example and one empty version.
The TB Services Costing Tool allows the user to develop 10 year cost projections based on incidence and treatment targets for TB and MDR-TB and more years can be added if necessary. It has been used in Indonesia to develop national cost estimates for national strategic planning and also to develop cost estimates for Central Java Province – The package contains two excel files, one filled example and one empty version.
An analysis of national claims data obtained from the public health insurance schemes, and carried out series of interviews with health and insurance managers, and non-governmental organizations in 3 Indonesian provinces – Aceh, Jakarta and West Java.
To assist the Indonesian NTP to analyze and project service delivery costs, a simple, user-friendly costing tool was developed for use by national, district and provincial program managers. The tool was developed because there was no existing tool suitable for sub-national levels, and it was tested in Central Java, a large province with 32 million people.
To facilitate the development and implementation of the exit strategy for TB, it is necessary to have a good understanding of the cost of current and future services at all levels so that the necessary domestic funding can be provided and areas can be identified where greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness might be achieved. To assist the NTP to analyze and project service delivery costs, a simple, user-friendly costing tool was developed for use by national, district and provincial program managers. The tool was developed because there was no existing tool suitable for sub-national levels, and it was tested in Central Java and the resulting model was then used to estimate the projected costs for the whole country.
A major challenge in increasing government budget allocations is the lack of understanding of the economic burden caused by TB and the savings that can be achieved with a successful and well-resourced TB program. Being able to provide estimates of the economic burden will provide evidence that can strengthen the ability of the NTP and the Ministry of Health to advocate for the funding needed. This report looks into the economic burden of TB in Indonesia.

The key lessons learnt during the implementation of TB CARE I activities in Uganda, have been captured for use by other TB management programs in Uganda and other countries. The lessons were generated over a 6 month period using a combination of methods such as review of project documents and reports, discussions with project staff and other stakeholders and interviews with TB and health program managers within the Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA) and the NTLP.
The objective of this compendium is to encourage and facilitate internal and external M&E of TB control programs to improve quality and effectiveness.
This report provides a description of the set-up and development of the two country specific projects. It provides the local recommendations that were given during the year to strengthen the national systems and enhance data capture and quality of data. The report also provides extensive analysis and results of the collected data and the conclusions and final recommendations to the National TB Programs for each of the projects.
The purpose of this document is to guide tuberculosis programme supervisors and others interested in Routine Data Quality Assessment (RDQA) for TB monitoring. Such people may come from district hospitals/centres, health centres and health posts; the intermediate level (regional/provincial); or the monitoring and evaluation unit at central level (the national TB program).
This new version of the handbook for national TB control programs provides an overview of the broad range of approaches needed to implement all six components of the Strategy, and to achieve its goals. It is the result of efforts by many experts, building on the new knowledge and evidence that are behind the complexities of modern TB control; its purpose is to facilitate the work of all those who are engaged in the aim of ultimately eliminating TB.
This guide is aimed at health workers, who manage sick children in first level health facilities or outpatient setting at any level of care and NTP worker who manage children as part of NTP work. It aims to improve early and accurate case detection of children with TB, the management and outcome of children with TB and child contact screening and management. It focuses on diagnosis of common forms of TB in children, how to treat, when to refer and the management of children who are close contacts of TB cases.
