Year in Review: Capacity Building

Responding effectively to the increasing complexity of the HIV and TB epidemics requires high-quality, contextually responsive, and strategic capacity building that provides tailored guidance to facilities, regions, or governments with the aim of improving health services or systems. 

EGPAF’s External Technical Assistance team works with EGPAF partners—governments, civil society organizations, and local implementing partners on mutually agreed-upon services and activities. This technical assistance aims to build the capacity of our partners to improve policies, programs, and institutions.  

EGPAF’s technical assistance is rooted in long-standing expertise; decades of relationships with local cultural and political entities; and flexible, collaborative capacity building.  

Differentiated service delivery (DSD) is a client-centered approach that simplifies and adapts HIV services to reflect the preferences, expectations and needs of people living with and affected by HIV, while reducing unnecessary burdens on the health system.   

Through a three-year, Global Fund-financed contract, EGPAF supported the Guinea Ministry of Health to reach the partners of pregnant and breastfeeding women through notification services and HIV self-testing to strengthen their linkage to appropriate HIV prevention, care, and treatment services.  

Under the same contract, EGPAF collaborated with local partners to develop tools and processes to increase demand for differentiated HIV services, to provide HIV services for men in the workplace, and to analyze quality improvement efforts.

EGPAF provided technical assistance to the World Health Organization (WHO) in developing a crucial Roadmap Toward Ending TB in Children and Adolescent. The roadmap outlines priorities and key actions to accelerate progress towards the targets elaborated during the 2023 United Nations General Assembly High-Level Meeting on the fight against TB.  

Our work under Global Fund Strategic initiatives extended to pediatric TB, where we provided technical assistance to the Mozambique National TB program in creating guidance and tools for pediatric TB contact tracing.
