Description:

The partnership between the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Government of Ghana (GOG) began in 2008 with the goal of strengthening HIV prevention and treatment towards epidemic control. Over the past 13 years, CDC’s focus has transitioned from an emergency response approach to one of sustainability under the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The CDC Ghana program has moved from focusing mainly on prevention of HIV in key populations (KP) to a significant role in supporting Ghana’s national and regional laboratory and strategic information capacity.

CDC is PEPFAR Ghana’s lead agency for laboratory technical assistance which aims to improve the skills of laboratorians and efficiency of laboratory services. CDC, together with the GOG, assesses the laboratorian skills in real-world settings and addresses any identified gaps and challenges.

CDC leads PEPFAR Ghana’s strategic information activities, including efforts to improve national and subnational estimates of people living with HIV (PLHIV) and the capability to collect and analyze data across

the HIV cascade (testing, initiation of treatment, and viral load suppression) to inform evidence-based decision-making. CDC assists in developing and conducting data collection on key populations (female sex workers [FSW] and men who have sex with men [MSM]). Together these efforts provide PEPFAR Ghana with the tools and data needed for strategic planning to best address and achieve goals.

CDC Ghana is also the hub of PEPFAR’s West Africa Region and supports laboratory and strategic information capacity in Mali, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Burkina Faso, Benin, and Togo.
