BACKGROUND: In 2020, TB patients in Indonesia reached 8.5% of the total number of TB patients globally, as the country with the second-highest TB cases. Depok is the city in the West Java region that has experienced an increase in TB cases. The existence of tuberculosis-friendly villages will reduce the stigmatization of tuberculosis (TB) patients and increase treatment compliance. AIM: This study aims to analyze various aspects of Depok City’s readiness to develop TB-friendly village governance –– including government commitment, infrastructure, resources, and organizational culture –– within the scope of academic, business, community, government, and media (ABCGM)’s role or penta-helix. METHODS: The initial stage of preparation involved conducting a literature review. This research employed an online survey of 230 respondents and 40 TB patients using a quantitative approach. The qualitative approach involved 15 stakeholders through interviews, discussions, and a website-based search. RESULTS: Overall, the respondents were well-informed about TB, but attitudes (50.9%) and behavior (41.3%) regarding TB prevention need improvement. The government budget is adequate, but coordination is lacking between stakeholders and community involvement. CONCLUSION: Depok City is not yet ready to develop TB-friendly villages in terms of human resources and organizational aspects. It is necessary to improve communication, information, and education regarding TB prevention and establish leadership policies as a legal basis to strengthen the governance and management of TB-friendly villages. Moreover, community involvement is an essential pillar of developing these villages.
