• Description:
  The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) South Africa began its collaboration with South African non-governmental and community-based organizations in 1989 to address the country’s growing HIV epidemic. In 1994, CDC South Africa strengthened its support and began working with the government of South Africa to develop national HIV clinical, ethical, and research guidelines along with HIV and Tuberculosis (TB) service delivery programs. With the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) launch in 2003, this support rapidly expanded, and today strategically focuses on:
  
  • HIV prevention,
  
  • Integration of HIV and TB in clinical services,
  
  • Health workforce capacity, placement, and retention,
  
  • Health information systems, surveillance, and response systems that monitor HIV, TB, and other diseases of national significance, and
  
  • Creation of a policy and legal framework for the National Public Health Institute (NPHI).
