Initiatives & Impact

Between 2011 and 2016, the project "Implementation and Expansion of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care and Treatment Services in the Republic of Mozambique", funded by PEPFAR through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), supported the Ministry of Health in the national HIV response. The project was implemented in Maputo City and Inhambane provinces, two of the most affected by the epidemic, with estimated prevalence rates of 16.8% and 8.6%, respectively.

Between 2016 and 2021, the project "Supporting Implementation of HIV and TB Services for Epidemic Control in the Republic of Mozambique", funded by PEPFAR through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), supported the Ministry of Health (MISAU) in implementing, expanding and improving integrated HIV and tuberculosis prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care services. The project was implemented in Maputo City and Inhambane provinces, two regions with high HIV burden, contributing significantly to achieving national and global epidemic control targets.

Started in April 2018 and ended in December 2024, it aimed to provide support and technical assistance to the Ministry of Health (MISAU) to respond to infrastructure demand through construction of new facilities, as well as provide general alternative solutions for improving conditions of existing infrastructure through rehabilitation, remodeling, requalification and expansion, provision of prefabricated structures or necessary equipment for expanding and improving HIV/AIDS and TB services throughout the country.

As Principal Recipient of the Global Fund, CCS implements activities in 11 provinces and 127 districts, strengthening the link between community and health facilities. The focus is on TB and human rights in health. Treatment success: 98% (sensitive TB) and 92% (MDR-TB). 48 CBOs trained and 19,000 human rights cases resolved.

CCS has a solid track record in managing tuberculosis (TB) projects in Mozambique, with funding from PEPFAR and the Global Fund, which led the Stop TB Partnership (STBP) to invite CCS to implement activities complementary to ongoing investments in the country. Since 2019, CCS has received two rounds of STBP funding, both focused on strengthening the multisectoral response to TB and engaging civil society to accelerate the end of the epidemic.

The FORTE project (Fostering Opportunities to Respond to the TB Epidemic) was funded by USAID and implemented by a consortium led by CCS, in partnership with Ariel Foundation and CSM. The project aimed to reduce the burden of tuberculosis and drug-resistant TB, as well as associated morbidity and mortality, through a patient-centered and evidence-based approach.

The Project Support for Delivery of Health Facility and Community-Based TB Services, implemented by the Center for Collaboration in Health (CCS) with funding from Stop TB Partnership (UNOPS), aims to reduce TB incidence and mortality in Zambézia and Sofala provinces. The initiative focuses on prevention, screening and active case finding at community level, strengthening links between community and health facilities, and supporting adherence and treatment follow-up, adopting a patient-centered approach.
