JANTRA has rich experiences working with community groups including TB patients. The organization has always provided full opportunity to discuss the issues freely and highly recognize the ideas brought by community groups like community members, risk groups, Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs), Mothers groups, TB patients, and target groups during the program-planning meeting. We always keep in mind that placing TB patients at the center of the program and developing the activities base on the need of the periphery and grass-root level. This practice helped us to reach the unreached and hard-to-reach populations like slum, factories, refugees, Internally Displaced Populations (IDPs), and migrant people living in the project sites. The identification and functional participation of the risk group, women, and socially excluded groups in the project sites will be the inception step of project implementation.

JANTRA has successfully completed different TB projects such as Global Fund (NSA grant) in the Bagmati and Gandaki Province, the TB Reach project in Kathmandu Valley, the Post Disaster TB project, and the prevalence of TB/diabetes co-morbidity survey in Sindhupalchowk and Kathmandu valley respectively. JANTRA accomplished the first-ever National Tuberculosis Prevalence Survey in Nepal as a co-lead partner with Intrepid Nepal. It is an active member of the National Tuberculosis Control Programme. It is recognized as a trusted partner of the National Tuberculosis Program (NTP). An Executive Director of the organization is a member of the TB Technical Working Group in the capacity of a Programmatic expert. The organization has operational relationships with key stakeholders and government agencies such as Divisions, Centres, Provincial Health directors (PHD), Health Offices, municipalities, local-level health focal points, private health care providers, pharmacies, and health volunteers.
