HIV/AIDS

SARA works closely with USAID's AFR/SD in developing the terms of reference for the Health Sector HIV/AIDS Group (HS-HAG). The Group makes assessment of the impact of HIV/AIDS on human resources within the health sector preceded by a background paper giving results of the assessments undertaken so far and tools used, and on the International Partnership against AIDS in Africa; to consult with the UNAIDS family and African national AIDS program managers on types of technical resource needs; and to share information about bilaterally- and multilaterally-funded TRS activities and mechanisms that are available to expand and intensify the African response to HIV/AIDS.

SARA communicates with various AFR/SD Cooperating Agencies such as the Horizons project of the Population Council, the Impact project at Family Health International (FHI), Global Health Council, the International Alliance Against AIDS, the LINKAGES project, the FANta project, the Quality Assurance project, the Policy project, Save the Children, and Partnerships for Health Reform.
