The Technical Cooperation Network The Technical Cooperation Network is a global community of Technical Assistance (TA) providers committed to mutual support, accountability and excellence. The TCNetwork increases accessibility for clients and donors to quality technical assistance provided by effective, well managed and locally owned members of this community. The network's purpose is to foster sustained improvement of health care services through management and leadership. The Technical Cooperation Network recognizes that high quality, dynamic management consulting expertise in health exists in almost every country today. The TCNetwork links TA providers together to brand excellence, improve donor and client access to quality technical assistance, and boost opportunities for members to pool resources to bid on regional or even global projects.

Membership in the TCNetwork is based on adherence to quality principles and criteria that reflect the priorities of key stakeholders. The organization of The TCNetwork emulates examples from the corporate world, including Visa credit card (where the brand name is distributed among a variety of banking institutions which all adhere to a common set of principles), and the Internet (where activity, leadership and creativity is distributed in many places, depending on interest and need). Individual members can join from anywhere in the world. Groups of TA providers are also forming in some countries to address issues of local concern, or to collaborate for joint programming.
Initial members from Angola, Bangladesh, Brazil, Georgia, India, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Philippines, and Senegal have established the operating principles for the network. Management Sciences for Health—a U.S. nonprofit agency committed to closing the gap between what is known about public health problems and what is done to solve them—is providing the resources to launch the TCNetwork through its USAID-funded Management and Leadership Program.
