This publication is the second in a series of reports from ITPC’s Citizen Science project. In the first report, entitled “The Good, the Bad, and the Unfinished Business,” we shared community-led monitoring data from 2020 and 2021 and compared it with data from 2018 and 2019. The purpose was to gain insight into how COVID-19 affected HIV and TB services in Malawi and South Africa, informing strategic advocacy messages.

This report, entitled “Bouncing Back,” shares data and advocacy outcomes from 2022. It tells an optimistic story of recovery and resilience, highlighting how community-led initiatives can help restore health services in the aftershock of a crisis like COVID-19.
