This NOFO will create an enabling policy environment and full implementation of the HIV electronic data entry system (HIV MIS).
The strategies include providing technical assistance (TA) for HIV testing and treatment providers to enhance care and treatment, to create a National Medical Assisted Therapy (MAT) Hub to ensure government leadership in MAT scale up and enhance laboratory capacity.
The assistance provided will ensure national level strengthening of surveillance, research, and epidemiology (SRE) by focusing on improved HIV case-based, mortality, surveillance, epidemic modelling, routine KP cascade based on program and medical data, and HIV drug resistance (DR).
All activities will build capacity and contribute to achieving 95-95-95 targets and maintain epidemic control in Ukraine.
