TECHNICAL ADVISORS
Meet the LEAP Local Technical Advisors
We currently have Technical Advisors supporting 17 countries in Africa.
Technical Advisors (TAs) are experts that are embedded within host country governments in the National Tuberculosis (TB) Programme to effectively engage and coordinate stakeholders and implement evidence-based locally relevant solutions for the respective countries. The TAs focus are currently in Drug Resistant TB, Monitoring & Evaluation, Procurement & Supply Chain, TB Lab Diagnostics and Global Fund Advisory.
LEAP sets up management of the Technical Advisors through integrated project management that tracks technical leadership and capacity strengthening with their terms of reference. This allows for program oversight mechanisms to ensure timely and accurate reporting of Technical Advisor capacity and for program understanding and capacity strengthening strategy to promote shared understanding and quality standards.
