Key Impacts
From research conceptualisation to scientific publication: A community actor’s journey with TB research
Raising visibility and credibility of community-led research is vital for integrating the experiences of those most affected by TB into policy and practice. Peer-reviewed publications are essential to facilitating this process and establishing community-derived knowledge as scientific evidence. We underscore the significance of increasing multi-stakeholder collaboration in TB research as imperative for decolonizing knowledge, scaling impact, and influencing policy.
