In August 2022, the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the Stop TB Partnership announced a new US$ 5.5 million project to further expand decentralized, integrated, and people-centered care. The project’s goal is to accelerate the sustainable roll-out (i.e., introduction, adoption, and scale-up) of product innovations, particularly digital therapeutic technologies (DTx), that will facilitate decentralized, integrated, and people-centered care in Uganda and Viet Nam.
Please see the diagram below for additional information.

Engage with applicable partners to source potential and relevant product innovations, including from South Korea, for roll-out.
Develop and publish communication materials to advocate for the need for decentralized, integrated, and people-centered care and the product innovations that will facilitate this shift.
Participate in and/organize events and meetings, such as Virtual Innovation Summits, to advocate for the need for decentralized, integrated, and people-centered care and the product innovations that will facilitate this shift.
