Our key activities

Discover RTC
2022

Commence People-Centered Design (PCD) processes with country end-users (TB survivors, TB affected people/communities, care providers), stakeholders (Ministries of Health, country programmes), and partners (local implementers) in Uganda and Viet Nam to identify which services can be more decentralized, integrated, and people-centered and select product innovations that will facilitate this shift

Launch Innovations Sourcing Portal to source potential product innovations, particularly DHTs and/or adjacent solutions, including from TB affected countries, that will facilitate decentralized, integrated, and people-centered services

Convene a series of Collaboration (Collab) workshops with country- and global-level end-users, stakeholders, and partners to discuss and identify tactical ideas on how to (1) catalyze more innovators, including from TB affected countries and that are women-led, to enter the TB and global health space, (2) develop product innovations, particularly DHTs and/or adjacent solutions, that will facilitate decentralized, integrated, and people-centered services, and (3) accelerate the roll-out of these product innovations

Lay the groundwork to connect and link country-selected, rolled-out product innovations, particularly DHTs and/or adjacent solutions, that will facilitate decentralized, integrated, and people-centered services in Uganda and Viet Nam with their information/case-based management systems

2023
People-centered
2023

Complete our semi-structured interviews of TB-affected people and stakeholders in Uganda and Viet, compile findings into synthesis reports, and narrow down the problem space to opportunity areas as decided by the RTC leadership group

Conduct a Product Innovation Scan to identify promising innovations from around the world that can be selected to address various challenges across the cascade of car

Conclude the PCD process and Phase 1 of the RTC process in Uganda and Viet Nam where representative groups co-selected the innovation to focus on in Phase 2

Create and publish the first iteration of the RTC Toolkit which aims to help other organizations incorporate PCD principles into their work, and measure the impact

 

2024
Launch pad
2024

Refine the concept notes for ideas selected in Phase 1 to incorporate relevant new innovations, a continuous feedback loop for PCD, and implementation pathways developed in partnership with the leadership group

Receive in country approvals for the selected innovation, approach, timelines, and any research protocols

Develop implementation plans for the introduction of the selected innovations

Begin the innovation introduction according to the implementation pathways, with evidence generation, scale up, integration, and sustainability plans a key part of early introduction activities
