Advances in Differentiated Service Delivery (DSD) and antiretroviral drug optimization in Zimbabwe have made HIV care and treatment more acceptable and effective, leading to greater coverage and better health outcomes—especially for patients with advanced or unstable HIV.
With an in-depth understanding of the status of the national HIV epidemic through the Zimbabwe Population-based HIV Impact Assessment (ZIMPHIA) surveys conducted in 2016 and 2020, ICAP has continued working to improve service quality, strengthen human resources for health, and build capacity in epidemiology and strategic information (SI) for evidence-based HIV programs, policy and response.

Project Details
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)
