KNCV Nigeria
KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation Nigeria is a non-profit public health organization firmly equipped with technical and administrative capacity in providing TB, TB/HIV and COVID-19 support services, strengthening TB service delivery platforms, supporting health system strengthening and research in Nigeria. Over the years, our organization has played a pivotal role in innovative interventions and research aimed at enhancing TB detection and improving public health outcomes and has established the KNCV Nigeria Center for Innovation and Research in Disease Control (CRID) to drive our research agenda. The KNCV Nigeria CRID will lead in the implementation of the impact evaluation of the MATS.
Impact Evaluation of the Mobile Application for Tuberculosis Screening (MATS)
Digital health technologies, particularly mobile health applications, have been instrumental in enhancing disease surveillance, improving diagnostic accuracy, and facilitating timely treatment initiation. The Mobile Application for Tuberculosis Screening (MATS) application provides a symptom-based screening approach designed to enhance early detection of TB cases, thus bridging the gap in case notification. MATS help facilitate the referral process of identified TB patients to appropriate treatment facilities, thereby ensuring a continuum of care from identification to treatment.

Key Objectives
The survey firm is expected to contribute to the successful completion of the project as follows:
- Study questionnaire improvements through feedback
- Training of data collectors/enumerators

- Pilot Pre-test Data Collection:
Before the full-scale data collection begins, the consultancy firm will conduct a pilot pre-test of the data collection tools. This phase will involve deploying the questionnaires and tools in a small, controlled setting to identify any potential issues or challenges. The firm will analyze the results of the pilot, make necessary adjustments to the tools, and ensure that they are fully optimized for the main data collection phase.
- Data Collection:
The core of the consultancy’s work will involve executing the data collection process across the six target states. The firm will be responsible for quantitative data abstraction and qualitative data collection. This includes abstracting quantitative data from the MATS app and conducting Key In-depth Interviews (KIIs) and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with a wide range of stakeholders. In total, we intend to interview 60 stakeholders for Key In-depth Interview, 12 per state (2 TBLS, 2 DOT officers, 1 State Program Manager, 1 State M&E FP, 2 Implementing Partner FP, 2 MATs clients, 2 Linkage Coordinators). 6 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) will be conducted with a minimum of 8 persons per FGD group. Quantitative data is hosted by the National TB Program.
