ICAP helped enhance the quality and impact of HIV, Tuberculosis (TB), and TB/HIV services and data for decision making through quality improvement. ICAP also supported the implementation of a multi-site quality improvement project designed to improve infection prevention and control practices.

ICAP is partnering with the Ministry of Health to increase access to comprehensive, quality HIV prevention, care, and treatment services in health zones and facilities throughout Kinshasa and Haut-Katanga provinces. Funded by PEPFAR through the CDC, programming places a special emphasis on improving health outcomes for populations vulnerable to HIV infection—including adolescents, commercial sex workers, and men who have sex with men— through increased service coverage, linkages to care, and quality improvement.

ICAP worked with Myanmar’s National AIDS Program from 2014 to 2015 to advance the national HIV strategic plan and improve access to HIV care and treatment. ICAP conducted a baseline HIV situational analysis of ICAP-supported sites and worked with key stakeholders to implement an action plan to expand HIV services and reach key populations. The project was funded by the Open Society Foundations.

ICAP worked with the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), the Sierra Leone Ministry of Health and Sanitation, the World Health Organization, and other partners to design a curriculum for a pilot infection prevention and control certificate training program, adapted for the Sierra Leone context. This project was funded by the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) at the CDC.    

ICAP at Columbia University is collaborating with Ministry of Health in Tanzania to build the competence and confidence of frontline HCW to safely identify, report and support people with COVID-19, implement effective infection prevention and control (IPC) activities, and serve as a trusted source of reliable information for communities impacted by the pandemic. This project is supported with funding from Resolve to Save Lives (RTSL).

ICAP at Columbia (ICAP) in partnership with CDC’s International Infection Control Program is collaborating with the Ministry of Health in Tanzania to launch a regional community of practice to rapidly enhance IPC at scale. The goal is to reduce morbidity and mortality by preventing COVID-19 and healthcare-associated infections in low-resource settings. The project aims to enhance the capacity of hospital-based IPC Focal Points to support compliance with IPC standards throughout their facilities by using a regional approach. This project is funded by CDC.

Funded by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emergency International Task Force (ITF) funds, ICAP has launched an Infection Prevention Control (IPC) Community of Practice in East Africa to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Through building a robust south-to-south learning network the next twenty-seven months, the project seeks to enhance the capacity of hospital-based IPC Focal Points to support compliance with IPC standards in facilities across the continent. The IPC Community of Practice will include rapid training on COVID-19-related IPC, skills building and mentorship, and supportive supervision for IPC QI projects.

In Malawi, ICAP is conducting a sentinel surveillance activity of COVID-19 in 14 facilities across Malawi, targeting both asymptomatic and symptomatic children (>5 years) and adults. We are also randomly selecting and testing 2000 staff at these 14 health facilities.

ICAP provides technical assistance (TA) and capacity-building support to the Ministry of Health and Sports’ (MOHS) National AIDS Program (NAP), Drug Dependency Treatment and Research Unit (DDTRU), and the National Health Laboratory (NHL) to build capacity to develop and sustain differentiated service delivery (DSD) models tailored to key populations (KP), people living with HIV, and their sexual partners; support HIV services with effective and quality assured laboratory systems; and strengthen strategic information and surveillance to accelerate progress toward achieving 95-95-95 targets.

Since 2016, the goal of this project is to build the capacity of individuals, institutions, and the overall health system of Zimbabwe, and to develop and maintain a national, evidence-based HIV response using comprehensive, integrated, and accessible SI.

Its specific objectives are to:

A. Enhance the ability of national institutions to plan and coordinate SI activities.

B. Strengthen systems to monitor and evaluate the coverage, quality, and effectiveness of the national HIV response.

C. Improve systems to plan, conduct and implement comprehensive, high-quality surveys and surveillance to quantify and characterize the HIV epidemic, and

D. Strengthen human resources to support country ownership of sustainable SI activities.

Project implementation is driven by the collaborative efforts of ICAP staff based in Zimbabwe country office, staff seconded to the Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC) and ICAP’s headquarters team in New York working in close coordination with CDC in Zimbabwe and Atlanta.

The scope of work also includes strengthening human resources to support country ownership of sustainable SI activities. (funded by PEPFAR through the CDC)

ICAP is providing technical assistance to the Ministry of Health to conduct the second Malawi Population-based HIV Impact Assessment (MPHIA) 2020 survey to assess HIV prevalence, incidence, and access to HIV prevention, care, and treatment services. The survey includes household-based interviews, HIV counseling, and HIV testing for individuals 15 years and older. Funded by PEPFAR though CDC, the survey findings will be used to assess the impact of Malawi’s HIV response at the national level and help guide future investments and programming.

The first MPHIA survey was conducted from November 2015-August 2016.

Through the Quality Improvement Capacity for Impact Project (QICIP), ICAP provides ministries of health and local partners with technical assistance that enables them to monitor program performance, identify quality challenges, explore root causes, develop targeted interventions, and conduct rapid, iterative tests of change in programs supported by PEPFAR.

Malawi is taking part in a quality improvement for differentiated service delivery project.

The Global Technical Assistance (GTA) Project, funded by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), was an ambitious, six-year project comprising 62 individual projects across 24 PEPFAR and Global Fund-supported countries on four continents.
