Tuberculosis Health Activities in Zambia, THANZI, is a USAID funded project executed from Oct 2007 to Sept 2012 by CARE International in four districts of Eastern Province, namely in Chadiza, Chipata, Lundazi and Petauke, with the goal to support the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Programme (NTLP) to decrease morbidity and mortality caused by tuberculosis (TB), in the context of HIV co-infection. The objectives of the final evaluation were: (1) determine the extent to which the project accomplished the results (effectiveness); (2) describe key factors that contributed to what worked or did not work (effectiveness and efficiency); (3) provide a record of how these results were obtained (efficiency and implementation mechanism); (4) demonstrate how this project contributes to global learning about community-based health programming (lessons learned). The final conclusion at the end of THANZI is that TB is a considerably smaller problem in Eastern Province than initially envisaged in 2007, especially when compared to most other provinces in Zambia.
