Compendium of Data and Evidence-related Tools for Use in TB Planning and Programming

This compendium is designed to help National TB Programmes (NTPs) to make best use of the available tools for policy, planning and programmatic action. The document summarizes information about the key tools related to data and evidence that are available for use in TB planning and programming, and how they can be applied. The tools that are profiled are described in terms of how they fit within the People-centred framework for tuberculosis programme planning and prioritization.

Together with the people-centred framework, this compendium aims to enable better use of data and evidence for TB programme planning at both the national and subnational levels. It is designed to help NTPs and their national stakeholders to understand how and when different data and evidence-related tools could be used.
