ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThe TB CAP evaluation team would like to thank the many generous people who contributed their timeand energy to help us complete this challenging, complex, yet fascinating task.Prominent among them we thankMs. Cheri Vincent, TB CAP Cognizant Technical Officer, and her colleagues at the Bureau forGlobal Health and Regional Bureaus, U.S. Agency for International DevelopmentDr. Maarten van Cleeff, TB CAP Project Director; Dr. Jeroen van Gorkom, TB CAP Project DeputyDirector; Dr. Ersin Topcuoglu, TB CAP Monitoring and Evaluation Officer; Ms. Inge Sasburg, TBCAP Financial Controller; and the many other staff in the TB CAP Project Management Unit forenthusiastically, meticulously, and openly explaining the many facets of how TB CAP worksThe national TB managers and staff who set aside time from the inspiring work they do to describetheir programs, experiences with TB CAP, and suggestions for how best to control TBUSAID Mission staff and TB CAP partners who are earnestly supporting TB control efforts, forsharing their opinions about the many challenges and remarkable successes they are witnessing, andfor their efficient organization of the country visitsThe many technical experts and managers from TB organizations worldwide with whom we spoke,for providing their insight into global TB control efforts and international development workMs. Elsa Berhane, Program Manager for the TB CAP Evaluation at the Global Health TechnicalAssistance Project (GHTech), for her dedication, hard work, and seemingly endless patience.Finally, we wish to express our admiration for those working at the sharp end, especially the manyunrecognized but vital DOTS community volunteers. Quotes from two of these extraordinary people stayin our minds:One woman, herself HIV-infected, when asked why she was providing TB support, said, ―I just feelthat I should help others the way others have been helping me.‖Another community volunteer, asked what one thing could make her work easier and better, told us,―I wish I could have more education about TB, so I would know more to help my patients.‖EVALUATION OF THE TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (TB CAP)i
