This project improves sustainable ART service delivery for children and confronts challenges that adolescents face around disclosure, adherence, and psychosocial support.

With funding from Johnson & Johnson and in partnership with the MOH, EGPAF provides technical assistance on pediatric second- and third-line ART access. This project aims to improve sustainable ART service delivery for children, and confront challenges faced by adolescents around disclosure, adherence, and psychosocial support. The heart of the Collaborative is a darunavir/etravirine donation program, which increases availability of third-line pediatric and adult ART for children and adolescents failing second-line treatment.

In 2022, the NH will transition to a new phase of New Horizons 2.0, EGPAF as a key implementing partner along with other current partners including Partnership for Supply Chain Management, Imperial Logistics, CIPHER Paediatric HIV Matters, Right to Care, and the Paediatric European Network for Treatment of AIDS.

In 2021, the NH will transition to a new phase of New Horizons 2.0, EGPAF as a key implementing partner along with other current partners including Partnership for Supply Chain Management, Imperial Logistics, CIPHER Paediatric HIV Matters, Right to Care, and the Paediatric European Network for Treatment of AIDS.

EGPAF is in the end stages of an assessment under the AIDSFree mechanism to identify the most effective combination of questions to screen OVC for HIV testing services at the community level.

This Johnson & Johnson–funded project supports the Ministry of Health and Child Care to implement the Start Free, Stay Free, AIDS Free framework and continues efforts toward the national elimination of mother-to-child transmission (EMTCT) in Zimbabwe

EGPAF is implementing two projects under the CDC Project Delta mechanism

The overarching goal of this Unitaid-funded project is to increase the number of HIV-positive infants whose HIV status is known in order to facilitate early ART initiation.

The objectives of this two-year project funded by CIFF are to improve identification, initiation, retention and viral load suppression of adolescents in 20 high-burden districts, and to strengthen the knowledge base related to adolescent HIV.

In late 2015, CIFF awarded a two-year costed extension to EGPAF for the “Accelerating Elimination of Pediatric HIV” project to support the government of Zimbabwe in sustaining systems and services developed over the past five years which have accelerated the elimination of pediatric AIDS in Zimbabwe.
