Project Description
Tanzania faces an unfinished HIV testing, treatment, and viral suppression agenda because of implementation gaps, particularly in children, adolescents, and young adults and is also in the early stages in determining how to best integrate prevention, screening, and care for non-communicable diseases into HIV programs. The long-term success of HIV care and treatment programs and achievement of the HIV targets in Tanzania can be ensured and improved through the HIV Implementation Science training program – a joint initiative by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston and Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) in Dar es Salaam that will build research capacity on rigorous Implementation Science, Impact Evaluation, and Health Systems Research methods to test the performance of approaches, structures, and programs in the delivery of HIV interventions.
