Background

Deloitte is implementing a program to strengthen regional, national, and sub-national institutional capacities to sustainably combat HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The program will run for five (5) years and is funded by the American People through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The program intends to strengthen the capabilities of host country governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to plan, manage, and monitor sustainable programs and systems to respond to HIV, TB, and other diseases and conditions of public health concern.
