TB Financial
Sustainability Index
The TB Financial Sustainability Index (TB FSI) is a tool that countries with a high burden of tuberculosis (TB) can use to measure and plan their progress in achieving sustainable financing for TB.
Sustainability, in this context, includes increased domestic ownership and financing of the TB program, and the integration of TB programs into domestic financing systems. The TB FSI offers a way to structure the TB financing conversation, and the lessons from implementation provide important context for what comes next.
