With financial support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Breakthrough ACTION Nigeria is supporting the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control Programme (NTBLCP) to improve tuberculosis (TB) case detection and treatment adherence in Nigeria through a Human Centered Design (HCD) Approach. The HCD approach fully engages beneficiaries, along with relevant stakeholders and partners, through an immersive, iterative process to design solutions to problems that work.
In September 2018, Breakthrough ACTION Nigeria completed an in-depth Discovery Phase, in which TB patients, public and private health care providers, friends and family of TB patients, as well as community members, were interviewed about factors that prevent and facilitate TB case detection and treatment adherence. Insights from the Discovery Phase will be put to use in the Design and Test phase, where partners and stakeholders will generate, test, and refine ideas about how to increase case detection and treatment adherence.
