Project ESCALA

Overview

This U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-funded cooperative agreement is dedicated to reaching the 90-90-90 targets set forth by the Joint United Nations Programme. It aims to scale up Treatment for All, increasing coverage of high-quality adult and pediatric testing, treatment and retention services. Through Project ESCALA, EGPAF supports the government of Mozambique to achieve epidemic control by building capacity at all levels of the health system for the delivery of sustainable models of facility-and community-based HIV and TB services along the continuum of care. EGPAF continually optimizes support and technical assistance in designated health facilities in 11 districts in Gaza province and 14 districts in Inhambane province targeting first-, second-, and third-line ART providers to synthesize the approaches to identify people living with HIV (PLHIV), initiate PLHIV into care and treatment, and improve quality of care to encourage PLHIV to maintain viral suppression. EGPAF also increases support to patient access to comprehensive TB services.
