- About the project: PIVOT-TPT The PIVOT-TPT (Private provider–led Integrated Virtual & Outreach for TPT) is a TIFA (Tuberculosis Implementation Framework Agreement) Health Commitment Grant supported project to be implemented by PATH under the guidance of the NTEP (National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme).
Additional details
- The project aims to pilot and generate evidence for a digitally enabled, private provider–led model that expands access to both facility-based and home-based Tuberculosis Preventive Treatment (TPT) services for household contacts (HHCs) of persons with TB (PwTB) seeking care in the private sector, ensuring high initiation and completion rates in alignment with NTEP guidelines.
- The project will be implemented across three high-burden districts of Mumbai (Govandi, Sion and Kurla) in Maharashtra and two aspirational districts of Odisha (Kalahandi and Koraput), having substantial gaps in systematic contact listing and TPT initiation in patient seeking care in private sector.
- The model integrates virtual TPT clinics, tele-consultation, standardized digital screening workflows, mobile diagnostic services, and doorstep delivery of TPT medicines to strengthen the identification, screening, and initiation of eligible household contacts on TPT.
- About the position: PATH is seeking a talented and experienced Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL) Advisor to lead the design, implementation, and management of comprehensive monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning systems for the PIVOT-TPT project.
- This is a senior technical position that serves as the central evidence hub for the project, ensuring rigorous data generation, quality assurance, and actionable insights for program improvement and donor accountability.
- The MEL Advisor will work closely with the Project Lead, State Operations teams, NTEP officials at state and district levels, private provider partners, and other key stakeholders to establish an integrated data ecosystem that captures performance across the full TPT care cascade—from provider mapping and clinic operationalization through patient contact screening, diagnostic evaluation, TPT initiation, adherence monitoring, and treatment completion.
