Since inception, the Network has made strides both globally and nationally
At the Global level, we won the prestigious KOCHON Award in 2020 as a result of better coordination and participation in Global Fund Writing Request.
Nationally we have been recognized by the National TB Program as the umbrella for TB Affected communities where we are engaged in the development of key policies and guidelines on TB as a key partner, we have also managed to form Network County chapters with leadership
We advocated for reinstating a TB Clinic in Taita Taveta County that was shifted next to an incinerator back to its original location which is conducive to TB Clients.
As a Network we managed to advocate for resource allocation for TB in Meru County which became the first County to have a specific Vote for TB in the 2020-2021 County Budget
