Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to bank documents, the overall objectives of the project are to: (i) improve coverage and quality of TB controland occupational lung disease services in targeted geographic areas of the participating countries; and (ii) strengthen regionalcapacity to manage the burden of TB and occupational diseases.

The proposed Additional Financing (AF) will deepen SATBHSS achievements to date in both TB and OLD control and enhance country-level and cross-border preparedness and response to disease outbreaks. The AF will:
(i) Close the financing gap for Malawi and Lesotho to meet their project end targets ;
(ii) Enhance and scale up high impact interventions, particularly the use of more sensitive diagnostic technologies to increase TB case finding and identification of DR-TB;
(iii) Fully operationalize Communities of Practice (COEs) to enhance and consolidate innovation, learning, and exchange, which benefits broader sub-regional, regional, and global TB control efforts;
(iv) Support establishment and enforcement of legislation and regulatory frameworks for best practices in occupational health and safety (OHS) and in primary prevention of OLD, and for strengthening mechanisms to ensure that miners eligible for OLD compensation receive it;
(v) Bolster emergency and disease outbreak preparedness and response, including consolidating cross-border collaboration between participating countries and beyond. This will complement the Africa CDC mandate to improve regional-level epidemic and pandemic preparedness and response at the regional level.
