The Center for Health Policies and Studies (PAS Center) has announced an open Call for Proposals for small grants program within the multicountry Program “Advancing People-Centered Quality TB Care – From the New Model of Care Towards Improving DR-TB Early Detection and Treatment Outcomes”.

PAS Center is inviting interested civil society organizations and their consortiums in Kazakhstan to apply for the call for requesting small grants: Small grant for CSO: Implement community-based innovative tools in Kazakhstan.
Objectives
The selected CSO will have the following major areas of responsibilities and tasks:
cooperate with international technical consultants in adjusting and designing the app;
  • design and implement activities on community-based monitoring using the adjusted app;
  • organize trainings for people undergoing TB treatment in app use;
  • ensure functionality of the app, including feedback loops and community responses;
  • generate data to improve local and national TB responses by producing community monitoring reports and submit them regularly to the NTP and other relevant country stakeholders and partners;
  • establish a mechanism for data exchange between the implementing CSO and the NTP;
  • conduct advocacy and demand generation of quality and modern TB prevention, diagnostic and treatment approaches and funding beyond Global Fund support, based on results of community monitoring.
The selected CSO will enter in contractual arrangements with the Principal Recipient (PR) and closely work also with PR project partners (WHO, TBEC, TB People, TB Caucus). The CSO will consult regularly with PR and relevant partners as required.
The CSO will ensure that all project activities are coordinated with the NTP and are in line with country priorities for CSO involvement in improving TB outcomes.
Scope of proposals
The CSOs are invited to submit proposals that will ensure that TB patients have a strong voice in monitoring quality of care and access to systematic means to report on any possible gaps and opportunities in care provision, in order to ensure provider accountability and demand quality services.
The aim of this grant is to enable community organizations to implement the app and promote its use among people undergoing TB treatment. Based on information received, CSOs will produce community monitoring reports. Community empowerment, engagement and support is essential to ensure people-centered approach of TB care and increase responsiveness of TB services to patients’ rights, needs and expectations.
Existing community-based app developed by Stop TB Partnership (OneImpact) and successfully adjusted within TB-REP 2.0 for Azerbaijan, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan, will be adjusted as OneImpact Kazakhstan and rolled-out at the country level by community teams with support by TB People Secretariat.
