𝟏 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥 : turn data into evidence to fight TB better.

Last week, we conducted an engaging 5-day online workshop on scientific research, with a strong focus on data analysis.

This training represents Module 3 of a 4-module programme on implementation research, designed to strengthen the capacity of professionals involved in the fight against tuberculosis.

A big thank you to our partners — WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), L’Initiative – Expertise France, and WARN/CARN-TB — for their continued support.

After the great momentum of Module 2 in March 2025, this new session will equip participants with essential tools to turn data into meaningful evidence for better TB control and stronger health programs.

Together, we continue building skills, sharing knowledge, and moving closer to ending tuberculosis.
