On the Forefront of Assessing the HIV Epidemic in Africa

Considerable progress has been made in bringing an end to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa. To finish the job, it is necessary to assess the evolving nature and extent of the epidemic and adjust resource priorities and program policies to ensure the greatest impact.

Working in partnership with national ministries of health across Africa, Ciheb has been conducting population-based HIV impact assessments (PHIAs) in countries supported by PEPFAR. These assessments are providing critical information about the status of HIV/AIDS. The surveys also build capacity by strengthening the workforce and provide the infrastructure needed to design, conduct, analyze, and disseminate results. PHIA surveys measure national and regional progress toward meeting UNAIDS' 90-90-90 goals and help to refocus resources where needed.
