Zimbabwe

Since 2015, FHI 360 has been leading projects in Zimbabwe to improve HIV care and treatment, food security, and maternal, newborn and child health. Our work through the Accelerated and Comprehensive HIV Care for Epidemic Control in Zimbabwe project is helping more people living with HIV become aware of their status and receive high-quality treatment. The Re-Ignite, Innovate, Sustain, and Empower project is working to reduce HIV risk among adolescent girls and young women in Zimbabwe using the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) DREAMS (Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe) approach.

The Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC) project aims to achieve and maintain HIV epidemic control. In Zimbabwe, the EpiC project has supported health facilities that have been strained by the COVID-19 pandemic by providing ventilators to intensive care units and support to health providers to use the ventilators safely and effectively.

The Mhuri/Imuli project, funded by USAID, worked to improve the quality and availability of maternal, newborn and child health services. In Manicaland province, the project improved the demand for and availability of these services by expanding the availability of lifesaving emergency obstetric and newborn care; strengthening community systems for integrated care; and engaging religious and cultural leaders, men, and young people. The project advanced continuous quality improvement approaches to ensure consistent availability of high-quality services in Manicaland.” The project also expands access to a full range of FP services in eight provinces in Zimbabwe through mobile FP outreach teams.

In the Manicaland and Masvingo provinces, we are working with CARE International to carry out Takunda, a food security program. FHI 360 serves as the program’s technical lead on social and behavior change.
