The USAID TB South Africa Project’s Small Grants program engages local NGOs at the grassroots level to find missing TB patients, to engage patients in supportive care and to improve overall patient outcomes. As the graph shows, the supportive NGO model, which works to provide patients with daily treatment supporters who further engage patients in care, improved outcomes among DR-TB patients in Nelson Mandela Bay Metro district in the Eastern Cape Province. Treatment success rate was uniformly higher in the project sample compared to the district patients. Further, as the model continued to be implemented in 2016, treatment success rates strengthened accordingly within the project. Overall, the small grants component has screened 215,293 people through Advocacy, Communications and Social Mobilization (ACSM) activities, 50,311 adult contacts and 4,867 child contacts to date. Additionally, the grants program alone has started 1,014 patients on treatment through ACSM activities, 827 adult contacts and 160 child contacts. Additionally, the grants component has led to 688 children under five years of age being initiated on isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT).
