    The Center for Global Health and Prevention (CDC) Zimbabwe office (CDC/Zimbabwe) was opened in 2000 under the “LIFE” (Leadership and Investment for Fighting an Epidemic) Initiative. Initial activities focused on piloting key HIV interventions and health system strengthening in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare (MOHCW). The President’s Malaria Initiative started in Zimbabwe in 2011. CDC/Zimbabwe currently partners with mostly local organizations to support the MOHCW in health system strengthening and increasing access and quality of HIV prevention, care and treatment interventions.
