MSH to Lead Building Local Capacity for Delivery of HIV Services in Southern Africa Project


Management Sciences for Health (MSH) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the US Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded Building Local Capacity (BLC) for Delivery of HIV Services in Southern Africa Project.

The project will strengthen local and regional systems to respond more effectively to the HIV & AIDS epidemic. The project will build the capacity of government and civil society entities in South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe to implement policies and health services for those infected with and affected by HIV & AIDS.

The three key program areas include care and support for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC), HIV prevention, and community-based care.

The five-year BLC project was awarded to MSH in August 2010.
