In collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and implementing partners, CDC provides technical assistance (TA) and administrative leadership in these program areas.

CDC provides technical leadership in building human capacity for HIV/TB treatment programs through direct service delivery, TA, and mentoring health workers. In line with sustainable and equitable programming, CDC also supports comprehensive adolescent and young people HIV prevention services in selected districts strengthening bidirectional referrals between community and facility services for young people.
