Nine africans partners are involved in this project such are Benin, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo,  Ethiopia, Guinea, Mali, Nigeria, Rwanda and Senegal.

In some African partners (Benin and Rwanda) with advanced molecular laboratories,  the ‘Deeplex’ assay, a novel multiplex deep sequencing-based drug resistance diagnostic platform that simultaneously provides sequence information of genes that confer resistance to severals key anti-TB drugs has been implemented.
