ACT is committed to building capacity of African CSOs (NGOs and Communities), generating an Africa-led and Africa-owned body of evidence to inform decision making for an effective and sustainable response to the most critical challenges facing TB elimination in the continent. Our mandate is to complement public sector efforts in TB management and prevention, generate and support the use of evidence for meaningful action to improve the lives of people affected by the disease and all Africans through capacity building, influencing policy on TB and most importantly research.
