In 2002, M&L established the Technical Cooperation Network for Management and Leadership in Health (TCNetwork), a network of technical assistance (TA) providers. Member organizations form a global community that is committed to mutual support, accountability, and excellence. These member organizations are effective, well-managed, and local.

The Technical Cooperation Network recognizes that health management consulting expertise exists throughout the world. The network seeks to link TA providers together in a “brand” that stands for excellence. It also seeks to boost opportunities for members who will come to know each other, and be able to pool resources to bid on regional and even global projects. The TCNetwork is a distributed network utilizing the TCNetwork Web site as a global hub, and peer-to-peer communications within regions to foster an environment in which activity and decision making can happen at any place in the network. Communication and information will flow freely.

The purpose of the TCNetwork is to foster sustained improvement of health care services through better management and leadership. By means of the TCNetwork, clients and donors will have increased access to quality technical assistance.

The TCNetwork was officially launched December 1, 2003 with ten founding members from ten countries. The network began accepting applications for new members, and by December of 2004, it hopes to have 40–50 members from 10–12 countries.
