Introduction
KHPT is a registered non-profit organization that has, for over two decades, worked alongside India’s most vulnerable communities to improve their health and wellbeing. Our journey began in 2003 with focused initiatives to reduce the prevalence of HIV in Karnataka, and since then, our work has expanded to address a wide range of public health issues across the country. In places where health remains out of reach, held back by stigma, silence or systemic gaps, we have worked to change that reality. We believe the answers already exist in local knowledge, the culture of the place, and in collective intent. While health is our focus, we see it in its full context shaped by poverty, gender, social norms, urbanization and climate. We bring together technical expertise and community wisdom, blending data, dialogue and systems thinking to strengthen health systems and empower communities. Because health and wellbeing are rights. And every community deserves not just access, but the power to shape its own well-being.
KHPT has been selected as a Non-Government Principal Recipient (NGPR) for The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (The Global Fund), for the grant cycle 2024-2027, for the TB grant in India. The key project elements include community engagement, capacity building and technical assistance. The major interventions of the project encompass (i) TB Champion Engagement across 14 states and one UT (ii) TB Mukt Grama Panchayath activities in 13 states (iii) Nationwide Technical Assistance for Direct Beneficiary Transfer (DBT) and Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan (PMTBMBA) - Sustaining the adoption initiative and strengthening service delivery linkages (iv) Strengthening counselling and patient support systems. KHPT will partner with suitable organisations as Sub Recipients (SRs) in implementing the project. The Major Stakeholders include The Global Fund, The Central TB Division (CTD), the State National TB Elimination Program (State NTEP) and the Local Funding Agent (LFA).
