16 Jul IMPAACT4HIV PARTNERS CONVENE TO REVIEW PROGRESS IN TACKLING PEDIATRIC ADVANCED HIV DISEASE IN AFRICA
In February 2025, CIHP joined other partners and stakeholders at the IMPAACT4HIV Project Consortium Meeting held in Johannesburg, South Africa, to collaboratively assess progress in pediatric Advanced HIV Disease (AHD) care.
Â
The objective of the meeting was to foster a shared understanding of the AHD landscape, highlight country-specific achievements, and strengthen collaborative partnerships across implementing countries.
Â
The meeting served as an essential platform for knowledge exchange, strategic alignment, and collective commitment towards enhancing AHD care for children and adolescents.
The IMPAACT4HIV project is a 3.5-year grant, led by the Aurum Institute as a consortium, across six countries: South Africa, Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Côte d’Ivoire, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria, to strengthen sustainable, evidence-based interventions for improved AHD outcomes.
As the consortium lead in Nigeria, CIHP began the implementation of the project in 2024, providing technical assistance to the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Health to adopt and implement the World Health Organization’s STOP AIDS package of care across 21 facilities in 4 states (Gombe, Kano, Lagos and Rivers).
Â
Through the project, CIHP supports the capacity building of National and facility-level healthcare workers to advance access to quality Pediatric Advanced HIV Disease care and treatment packages for children and adolescents in Nigeria.
