This TBD implementing mechanism will focus in the area of strategic information for KZ, KG, TJ and UZ, with the possibility of TK in a second year. The activity will focus on surveillance. As part of PEPFAR CAR's strategy in the region, PEPFAR CAR will engage in intense data collection process, which will include case reporting and sentinel surveillance, MARP size estimation, MARP mapping, and collecting ethnographic and demographic data on MARP as part of sentinel surveillance or MARP size estimation/mapping (activities to be conducted elsewhere in the ROP include TRAC surveys and PLACE studies). The technical assistance provider will engage in partnerships with MoH with the goal of building in-country capacity to collect, analyze, and disseminate information related to HIV/AIDS epidemic.

HIV Sentinel Surveillance, as described in the TAN, has not been formally evaluated for whether it captures data representative of the country nor whether the information is collected in a valid and consistent manner. The system has variable numbers of sites per country.

Key issue:

HRH

As part of capacity building, MoH personnel will be trained.

Mobile Population:

Migrants are considered one of the six MARP groups in most CAR countries. Few data on their risk exist, however. This award will explore the likelihood that mobile populations are at high risk and bring services to them.
