Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health challenge in urban Zimbabwean communities, despite ongoing efforts to improve case detection and treatment adherence. Community-based surveys were conducted using a stratified sampling approach, with data collected through structured interviews and focus group discussions. Quantitative analysis was performed on survey responses. Community mobilization efforts led to an increase of 20% in TB case detection rates compared to baseline, with adherence levels improving by 15% among participants who received targeted interventions. The study highlights the effectiveness of tailored community mobilization strategies in enhancing TB diagnosis and treatment compliance. Public health authorities should prioritise further research into scalable community-based approaches for TB control. Community Mobilization, Tuberculosis, Case Detection, Adherence, Urban Zimbabwean Communities Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
