CDC Projects

Programmatic implementation and Technical Assistance (TA) for HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis(TB) Prevention, Care and Treatment Services throughout the Health System in South Africa under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) FPD secured funding on 29 September 2016 from CDC to implement this comprehensive program over a period five years. FPD is the prime recipient with CareWorks and Center for Communication Impact (CCI) as sub recipients. The program aims to implement priority population prevention (PP_Prev) and community-based HIV Testing Services (HTS) with an aim to identify People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and effectively link them into HIV and TB care and treatment programs and link Prevention Yield into prevention programs. The second goal is to develop and test a scalable below-the-line communication strategy to promote ART patient adherence and retention in support of the 90-90-90. FPD and CareWorks provide HTS and PP_Prev services in ten sub-districts (7 districts) of three provinces while CCI works with National Department of Health in close collaboration with the PHILA national communication strategic team to develop the adherence communication strategy for people who live with HIV and health care workers.
