CRG Assessment in Vietnam
Languages *
The 2018 United Nations High-Level Meeting on TB contains commitments to address socioeconomic and gender-related barriers in TB response. As guided by the Stop TB Partnership Global Plan to End TB, conducting a TB CRG Assessment demonstrates Vietnam’s commitment to achieving the UNHLM on TB targets and commitments.
This needs assessment has been developed as an effort to contribute to epidemic control, specifically by providing insight into areas in Vietnam’s national TB program and TB-related policies that could be strengthened. Funded by the Global Fund, this needs assessment was commissioned by Vietnam’s National TB Program and carried out by the Center for Supporting Community Development Initiatives (SCDI) with technical assistance from Stop TB Partnership (STP).
Through this assessment, Vietnam aims to address the persisting TB issues in line with the Global Fund (GF) vision of accelerating its TB program to achieve the 2030 TB targets, which have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Acknowledging that certain factors affect one’s vulnerability to TB and inequitable treatment, this needs assessment will assess the aforementioned factors and potential opportunities to strengthen the TB response.
Vietnam is committed to finding and treating all people with TB. As part of finding the missing people with TB, we must also understand the socioeconomic barriers that different people experience in accessing TB services.
