Abstract
The primary purpose of this evaluation is to inform future USAID investments to develop international tuberculosis (TB) consulting capacity based on assessments of a range of currently supported initiatives. In addition to the junior consultant training program supported by USAID and implemented by partners of the Tuberculosis Coalition for Technical Assistance (TBCTA), this evaluation looked at the apprentice training program run by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and several short courses supported by USAID that specifically target training international TB consultants. The secondary purpose of this evaluation is to suggest measures to strengthen the current TBCTA junior consultant training program. (Author abstract, modified)
