Excited to share some key takeaways from our 8th #StakeholdersMeeting, where Armenia’s civil society organizations (CSOs) took a deep dive into the draft 2025 social protection budget! 💼 Engaging presentations by Susanna Yeghiazaryan and Karine Harutyunyan sparked dynamic conversations around crucial issues such as budget shifts in the social protection sector, the growing importance of non-financial indicators in budget analysis, and how CSOs can actively shape public finance decisions. With the co-facilitation of MOLSA Secretary General Samvel Muradyan, CSO representatives also explored MOLSA’s innovative triage system for emergency situations and reviewed the evaluation results of the domestic violence prevention budget program. These collaborative discussions are driving changes in public financial management and social protection strategies. A special shoutout to our MOLSA colleagues Eline Santrosyan, Sophie Bostanchyan, and Garnik Nalbandyan for their invaluable contributions! 🚀Looking forward to building on this momentum in future sessions—stay tuned! #PublicFinanceManagement #CivilSociety #StakeholderEngagement #BudgetProcess #SocialProtection #MOLSA #PFM

Dr. Ersin Topcuoglu, URC Senior Portfolio Director, presented three posters at the International Society for Quality in Health Care 40th International Conference in Istanbul in late September. They covered USAID’s TB Platforms Activity: · Using AI-powered, computer-aided TB case finding; · Developing referral guidelines to integrate TB care into universal health care; and · Building the capacity of supervisors and program managers in the Philippines. Great job, Ersin! ISQua #EndTB #ISQua2024

URC has been awarded the USAID TB-Free Luzon Activity, the next chapter of our work in the #Philippines to strengthen and increase access to #TB services and prevent the spread of TB in the Philippines. The 5-year, $37.3 million activity will empower local governments, spur local innovations, and scale up TB screening, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. URC will work with the Philippines National TB Control Program and other government departments to achieve these goals. The URC-led USAID TB Platforms project in the Philippines – which ended in 2024 – strengthened TB interventions at the regional, local government, and community levels to increase TB case detection and treatment success rates.
