KNCV is an international center of excellence for TB control that promotes effective, efficient, innovative and sustainable tuberculosis control strategies in a national and international context. Our multidisciplinary team of passionate professionals covers a broad range of expertise such as programmatic TB control, research, clinical management, social science, education, digital health, and project management.

KNCV raises funds from private, institutional, corporate and government donors.
IMPAACT4TB Project Latent tuberculosis (TB) infection (LTBI) is the seed bed for developing TB disease and continued transmission. WHO policy to give at least six months of isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) to people living with HIV (PLWHIV) and child contacts has existed since 1993, yet the uptake of IPT in high burden countries remains poor. A short-course regimen of isoniazid and rifapentine weekly for three months (3HP) is now available for TB preventive therapy (TPT), 3HP is associated with less toxicity, better adherence and similar efficacy to PT and may be logistically easier for programmes to scale up. The IMPAACT4TB project is conducted by a consortium led by the Aurum Institute with core partners Clinton Health Access Initiative, Johns Hopkins University, KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation and the Global Drug Facility in 12 strategically selected countries that have a high burden of TB.
