The TB Data, Impact Assessment, and Communications Hub (TB DIAH) project's approach in the Eastern Europe and Eurasia (EEE) region, which is comprised of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine, is centered on a Center of Excellence (COE) model as a means of providing technical assistance. The TB DIAH project established a virtual EEE COE in TB monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and Surveillance in May 2022 in Georgia. The COE is hosted by Georgia’s National Center for Disease Control and Public Health together with the country’s National Center for Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases. The COE’s purpose is to model, test, and share best practices in TB M&E in the region; serve as a hub for TB DIAH support in the region; and ensure synergy and effective use of resources.

To address the overarching need to strengthen the capacity of national TB program (NTP) staff to improve TB data collection, reporting, analysis, and use, TB DIAH, through the COE framework, hosted a “Regional Training Workshop on TB M&E and Surveillance Capacity Strengthening” for EEE NTPs. The in-person workshop took place in Tbilisi, Georgia, from November 30 through December 2, 2022. This report shares the details of the training.
