This activity is related to CDC Direct CT activity # 2845. In collaboration with AIHA, Liverpool VCT will conduct an initial assessment of local Rwandan NGOs and assess their capacity to provide VCT services. Liverpool VCT will then develop and tailor specific strategies for Rwandan NGOs to develop their programmatic, financial and technical capacity with the goal of providing high quality VCT services by 2008. Liverpool currently provides similar services in Kenya where it has a proven track record. To advance local capacity, Liverpool will also promote South to South exchanges and provide technical assistance in order to develop the capacity of Rwandan NGOs. Liverpool will specifically provide Rwandan NGOs with assistance in developing advanced VCT services including mobile VCT services as well as enhance current clinic based services.
