This document has been developed to explain in more detail how the actions outlined in the Operational Guidance can be implemented.

The manual has three objectives:
* to explain simply how the ENGAGE-TB operational guidance can be implemented by NGOs/CSOs and by NTPs;
* to explain simply how community-based TB activities can be integrated into sectors such as PHC, HIV care, MNCH, water and sanitation, agriculture, livelihoods and education; and
* to explain the importance of the two community engagement indicators and the need to record community contributions within NTP monitoring systems. The manual also explains how the progress of community-based TB activities may be periodically evaluated.
