Mozambique

In Mozambique, ICAP is supporting concerted government efforts to achieve the global 95-95-95 HIV targets. ICAP supports the implementation of national surveys, as well as innovative and targeted approaches to drive progress in HIV and TB prevention, case identification, optimized treatment regimens, and treatment monitoring, including the viral load cascade, to achieve HIV epidemic control. In addition, ICAP supports the country’s emergency health preparedness and response efforts, including surveillance, infection prevention control, and case management. 

Projects implemented at all levels of the health system place a special emphasis on increased capacity of human resources for health, targeted service provision, differentiated service delivery for priority populations, and data for continuous quality improvement.
