IHAP-Kinshasa

Overview

The Integrated HIV/AIDS Project (IHAP)-Kinshasa is a major USAID-funded HIV/AIDS program. Its mission is to improve service delivery and provide technical assistance to the Government of DRC and specific health zones in Kinshasa. IHAP-Kinshasa will scale up HIV/AIDS services, including comprehensive prevention, HIV testing, antiretroviral therapy (ART) enrollment, and treatment retention support services at high-yield entry points throughout these health zones. EGPAF focuses on community engagement to increase demand for HIV and AIDS services.

The project also works to address TB/HIV co-infection through increased access to TB testing and prevention services, and promotes efficient laboratory functions for more readily accessible diagnostic services for HIV/AIDS and TB. This work is sustained by building and reinforcing the capacity of staff at the health zones, Ministry of Health, and the National AIDS Control Program.
