The Twinning Center (TC) supports local capacity building by pairing Mozambican institutions with supportive organizations. COP12 funds will support four projects.One ongoing activity from COP11 will provide support to St. Luke's clinic in Beira. Three new projects include support to MOASIS, a local information technology group, support to Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) for pediatric surgery training, and support to Central Hospital of Mozambique for general surgery services. A fifth project from COP11 that provided support to the nursing association, ANEMO, will be closed out with FY11 funds. All five projects align with the Mozambique GHI goal of strengthening health systems and human resources in Mozambique, as all projects have an over-arching goal of building local capacity and skills in the area of health provision. The partnerships with MOASIS, UEM, and Central Hospital are all in Maputo but these partnerships work will yield national benefits. The partnership with St. Lukes clinic is in Beira and primarily benefits that city. TC generally provide strong results with minimum PEPFAR funding, as the program pairs local organizations with more developed organizations that supply free technical assistance, capacity building, and often material goods. The ANEMO project has already transitioned leadership of the project to local control and will not receive funding support in FY12. The project with St. Lukes clinic in Beira will be asked to transition funding support for the clinic to DPS and other local support with FY12 funds. There is no pipeline in any of the 5 projects. AIHA assists the partners in the collection of PEPFAR relevant indicators to inform programmatic direction. The new MOASIS project is requesting 1 vehicle ($5,000) with FY12 funds.
