KHPT is a not for profit entity that spearheads focused initiatives to improve the health and wellbeing of communities in India. In 2003, KHPT was founded with a single mission to reduce the prevalence of HIV in Karnataka’s high priority pockets. The initiative’s success made it a scalable model at national and global levels and KHPT became a learning site for innovative approaches. The unique DNA of our programs is a combination of evidence generation, grassroots community connect and government relationship.  With these strengths, we learned and reflected on our decade long experience leading us to look beyond HIV to four other thematic areas.  KHPT currently works on TB, HIV-AIDS, MNCH, Adolescent Health and Comprehensive Primary Health Care.

KHPT has been awarded, USAID funded project, titled as” Breaking the Barriers - Community engagement to accelerate TB elimination efforts in India through sustained behaviour change” (March 2020 to March 2024). This project aims to develop and scale, effective behaviour change operational models that improve coverage of vulnerable populations, such as urban poor, tribal communities, migrants, mining/industrial workers, for increased case detection, notification, improved successful treatment outcomes in DS TB, TB HIV, DR TB. The project will implement patient centric approaches, and propose to engage with community structures for sustainable behaviour change towards the prevention of TB, case detection and successful treatment outcomes. The project will embed digital technology within the intervention framework for effective and scalable behaviour change interventions among patients and families and will also evaluate social network, positive deviance, design thinking and nudge.
