The experience of the Korean National TB Association (KNTA) in fighting TB provides some useful insights on the role of voluntary associations. It is recommended that, similar to the KNTA, voluntary associations in other developing countries should cultivate intimate working relations with their respective governments. While the KNTA invested sizable financial inputs into critical sectors of the TB project at the government’s request, the latter greatly assisted KNTA’s fund-raising effort. KNTA found that people contributed more freely if they could see visible proof, immediately, and on a sufficiently large scale, of their money being utilized for their good. It is urged that voluntary associations must constantly improve to be an example to others.
