Having community members participating in this process helped determine relevant and effective solutions to the problems that affected the quality of life in their communities and through this method, participants informed decision makers to work with them to prioritize concerns and discuss solutions.
The goals of this project are to
- increase awareness of the global burden of Tuberculosis; and to
- assist in the eradication of TB and TB Meningitis.
The project objectives include:
- support and mobilization of TB patients to address policy's decision makers;
- formative research that can inform communication strategies and program development; and
- dissemination of formative research rooted in local people's perspectives.
The Border TB Photovoice: Voices and Images Project acknowledges each and every one of the participants for their extraordinary participation, leadership and passion in making this project possible. A special recognition to the Advisory Committee members, policy and decision makers, community leaders, and all those individuals and organizations that have diligently supported, in all possible ways, the dissemination of information gathered by the participants to inform and educate residents and assist in the global efforts of eradicating Tuberculosis.
