Tuesday 31 March 2026 12:00-13:30 BST
Join us for the closing webinar of the LIGHT research programme, where we will share key findings, lessons learned, and the tangible impact of LIGHT’s work. The session will highlight how integrating a gender lens into TB prevention and care has improved understanding of underserved populations, strengthened community engagement, and informed policy and practice. By showcasing research insights, policy engagement, and community-led interventions, the webinar will demonstrate how countries and partners can take leadership in turning commitments into action, ensuring no one is left behind. We will also reflect on the programme’s legacy and explore opportunities to sustain and scale gender-responsive approaches, informing future research, advocacy, funding and TB programmes at national and regional levels.
