RELEASED BY: Caliber Outsourcing Services (Caliber has been engaged by an International NGO for Recruitment and Payroll Management of the Staff).

Position: – MIS Assistant - Vulnerability Mapping for TB

Job Location: Nuh, Charkhi Dardri, Fatehabad, Sonipat, Karnal

Nature of Employment: The appointment will be for a period of 9 months or co-terminus with the project, whichever is earlier.

Programme Overview:

India continues to bear the world’s highest burden of tuberculosis (TB) in terms of absolute numbers of incident TB cases. India has set an ambitious target of eliminating TB by 2025. In order to achieve this target, the National Strategic Plan 2017–2025 has set an ambitious target to reduce estimated mortality due to TB (per 100,000 population) by ~90% and incidence by ~80% by 2025. Doing this would require, among other things, early identification and treatment of TB patients.

The Government of Haryana proposes to launch a census style door-to-door vulnerability mapping (VM) exercise in the state to improve Tuberculosis (TB) case-finding at the community level. This exercise will entail an effort to identify ‘TB hotspots’ across all districts in Haryana, areas with high rates of TB presumptive population and / or the presence of vulnerable population. The proposed exercise aims to collect individual-level data on risk factors for TB in order to map vulnerability for TB in districts of Haryana.

Our client, under the aegis of the government, shall provide technical support for the initiative in terms of intervention design, development of the vulnerability index based on available literature and expert consensus, development of a mobile application for conducting the VM activity, and monitoring & evaluation (M&E) of the same regularly. While the current active case finding (ACF) activities primarily target individuals through symptom-based screening, the VM intervention will help the state adopt an approach of targeting hotspot areas and vulnerable individuals who are at higher risk of developing TB.
