USAID Mozambique will work with Futures Institute to develop modules around training in the use and application of the GOALS modeling tool. The GOALS modeling tool is a modeling tool that provides support to National AIDS Councils and Ministries of Health in developing costing models for implementation of HIV related programs. Programs can range from HIV Care and Treatment to community based HIV related service activities. With an increase focus in PEPFAR on greater efficiencies it is criticial to ensure that future public health intervention have greater information around the costing needs and ramifications of interventions. This will provide information to both PEPFAR programs and National Governments around the costs of implementing programs. It is expected that this implementing mechanism will provide at least three trainings/modeling sessions during the fiscal year to PEPFAR staff, Government of Mozambique and implementing partners on using the GOALS model and developing costing models for HIV related programs. This costing information will be used better plan and implement HIV related program activiites and look at how to increase efficiencies and outcomes. This activity support ongoing strategic information activities in Mozambique by increasing and providing more platforms for data use and understanding for both USG PEPFAR staff, implemetning partners and the Government of Mozambique.
