Voices from the Ground: A TB Situation Report Based on the CallKaLungs Hotline Feedback
We are proud to announce the launch of our latest community report which captures TB-affected communities' real-life experiences and feedback through the CallKaLungs TB Hotline - a community-led monitoring (CLM) platform. This report aims to amplify community voices and co-create solutions for sustainable, quality, and and people-centered TB programs.
Community-led monitoring is an accountability mechanism which provides direct input to service delivery networks and ensures that while we collaborate and find solutions, we are also strengthening partnerships and facilitating meaningful engagement of communities

CLM stakeholders review pilot implementation results
ACHIEVE, as the implementer of the Integrated CLM Project, gathered community advisors, hotline responders, enumerators, partners, and stakeholders for a CLM Stakeholders Meeting to review the 2025 CLM pilot implementation across 10 project sites.
The stakeholders looked back at how the Integrated CLM was built and piloted, highlighting key activities and phases and the support provided to implementers every step of the way. ACHIEVE also shared findings from our feasibility study, giving everyone a clear picture of which integration levels worked best and why.
ACHIEVE then presented our 2025 CLM data — trends, highlights, and key performance indicators from across all 10 project sites, and got everyone on the same page on our data and service quality findings.
ACHIEVE held annual strategic planning
ACHIEVE recently held its annual strategic planning to map out action plans for advocacy, research, community engagement, and service delivery, and to ensure our work is grounded in evidence and driven by community needs. Service delivery partners from HASH - HIV & AIDS Support House, Inc and Mindset also joined and shared valuable insights on improving community-based screening and mental health services.
