MDR/XDR-TB Assessment and Monitoring Tool

This tool will assist countries and partners in conducting assessments of national tuberculosis (TB) programs to identify strengths and gaps related to preventing, diagnosing, and treating multidrug-resistant TB. It provides the starting point for planning for new activities to address drug-resistant TB. This tool has also been adopted by the Green Light Committee for baseline evaluation of country status and is useful in preparing GLC applications, Global Fund applications, and national MDR-TB control plans. The tool is available in English, Russian, and Spanish as a Microsoft Word file (for users who wish to modify it for their specific purposes) and as a smaller Adobe PDF file. Development of the tool was funded by USAID.
