Continuing activity: This is a continuation of an activity in support of USG Mozambique's five-year SI

strategy to technically and financially support high priority HIV/AIDS-related health management information

systems, monitoring and evaluation, surveillance, and behavioral and population-based surveys.

Specifically, this activity will fund two first-year ASPH Fellows to work in-country with the CDC/GAP SI

Team on its activities related to strategic information to support prevention, care, and treatment initiatives.

One of the first-year ASPH Fellows will work primarily on helping to build the overall capacity of CDC/GAP's

partners, including the MoH, in monitoring and evaluating HIV/AIDS programs. To achieve this, the Fellow

will help a) provide broad HIV/AIDS-related technical assistance and guidance in program monitoring and

evaluation, and b) strengthen the capacity of CDC/GAP's partners to monitor program implementation,

document results, and translate data into meaningful policy and program improvements. The Fellow will

also be a key contributor to strengthening the health management information systems within CDC/GAP's

partners, including the MoH. The Fellow will be supervised by the SI Team's M&E Specialist. This activity

is related to activity 12667.08.

The other first-year ASPH Fellow will work primarily on helping to coordinate two large, nationally-

representative surveys planned for calendar year 2008 - the AIDS Indicator Survey (AIS+) and the Post-

Census Mortality Survey (INCAM). For the AIS+, the Fellow will help a) facilitate the development and

submission of appropriate documentation to the Mozambican and U.S. ethical review committees, b)

determine procurement needs to support the survey, c) coordinate and monitor the delivery of supplies and

the pick-up, transfer, and storage of samples, d) provide oversight and supervision of data collection and/or

data entry staff, e) review preliminary findings and draft reports for content, and f) manage feedback and

input from other partners. For the INCAM, the Fellow will help a) coordinate data analysis activities

between the US Census Bureau, CDC, National Statistics Institute, MoH, and other partners, b) implement

the data dissemination strategy, and c) conduct secondary analyses of the survey data on adult and child

mortality in Mozambique. The Fellow will be supervised by the SI Team's Senior Medical Epidemiologist.

This position is related to activities 10211.08 and 6443.0
