Summary Description of your Organization

The Health Development Alternative Initiative (HDAI) is an independent, non-governmental, non-political, and not-for-profit organization. Its primary objective is to enhance the health status, wellbeing, and socio-economic development of people.Yes, the Health Development Alternative Initiative (HDAI) actively works and supports national TB and HIV programs, guidelines development committees, technical working groups (TWGs), and national public health policy bodies working on Tuberculosis (TB). Our involvement in these areas is aimed at strengthening the overall response to TB control and prevention in Nigeria.
1. National TB and HIV Programs HDAI collaborates with the National TB and Leprosy Control Programme (NTBLCP) and the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) to implement various projects and activities aimed at improving TB and HIV prevention, care, and treatment outcomes. We provide technical assistance, capacity building, and community mobilization support to ensure the successful implementation of these programs.
2. Guidelines Development Committees and Technical Working Groups (TWGs): HDAI participates in the development and review of national TB and HIV guidelines and protocols by contributing technical expertise and ensuring that community perspectives are considered. We are also members of various TWGs, including the TB/HIV TWG, which focuses on the integration of TB and HIV services, and the TB-MDR TWG, which addresses Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis (DR-TB) control strategies.
4. National Public Health Policy Bodies: HDAI is a member of various national public health policy bodies, such as the National TB and Leprosy Technical Working Group (NTBLTWG), and the National TB/HIV Steering Committee. These platforms enable us to contribute to the development and implementation of national public health policies and strategies that address TB and other health challenges.
Through these engagements, HDAI strives to ensure that the national TB and HIV programs are well-supported, evidence-based, and responsive to the needs of the communities we serve. Our involvement in these forums also allows us to stay informed about the latest policies and guidelines, which we can then use to inform our own programs and advocacy efforts.
