Organizational Type: NGO
Funding Agency: HHS/CDC
Total Funding: $1,180,000

Funding for Treatment: Adult Treatment (HTXS): $100,000

CDC Foundation is supporting the MOHSW's national vision and plan for data flow based on the District Health Information System (DHIS) and its focus is an m-health solution to bridge the data flow gap between the facility and the district office. By the end of FY 2010 the P4H project will have completed a management and technical transition that improves the long term sustainability and scalability of the m-health platform, and improves integration with MOHSW. The project will have established a reporting interface for core/prioritized indicators from the facilities into the district and national data warehouse. Care and Treatment FY11 Funds will be used in combination with other funding sources to maintain the core/prioritized indicator mobile reporting system and provide technical support and orientation to HIV/AIDS care and treatment partners to ensure that their regions and clinics make use of the reporting system. In addition, the P4H project will work with MOHSW, NACP and the USG PEPFAR planning team to help ensure that program planners receive timely reports on the core/prioritized indicators. The Care and Treatment fund for the CDC Foundation m-health project have been reduced by 50% from FY 10 levels. This reduction implies that the P4H system will not be in a position to take any significant new requirements for HIV/AIDS Care and Treatment reporting beyond the core/prioritized indicators.

Funding for Strategic Information (HVSI): $630,000

FY11 funds for P4H are to support MOSHW's national vision and plan for data flow based on District Health Information System (DHIS) and the expansion of the Integrated Disease Surveillance Reporting (IDSR). P4H contribution to the national vistion will be to focus on the data flow gap between the facility and the district office and provide feedback to health care workers..

By the end of FY 2010 the P4H project will have completed a transition that improves integration with MOHSW and established a reporting interface for core/prioritized indicators from facilities into the district and national data warehouse.

The SI funds for P4H have been reduced by 37%. It is expected that the program will have established the infrastructure and basic services. The FY2011 funds will support the mainteance of the system and services. The national expansion to other districts will be achieved through the integration and linking with the national HMIS roll out.

Funding for Biomedical Prevention: Blood Safety (HMBL): $50,000

Support donor retention through sms communication; the program is national, with gradual expansion in line with BECS implementation, starting with the Eastern zone.

Funding for Biomedical Prevention: Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (MTCT): $400,000

CDCF will make use of PMTCT funds to create a P4H interface for facilities to report priority indicators related to PMTCT and provide feedback on collected data to the facility via SMS.

CDCF will continue supporting the MOSHW's national vision and plan for data flow based on the District Health Information System (DHIS) and, its focus will be an m-health solution to bridge the data flow gap between the facility and the district office.

CDCF and its PPP partners will complete the development and implementation of an m-health solution, which leverages mobile technologies to create a P4H interface for facilities to report priority indicators related to MTCT and provide feedback on collected data to the facility. The P4H partnership will have to work closely with RCH, the USG PMTCT team, national IS/ICT architecture working group and NACP to integrate its systems with the national vision and systems.

FY11 funds will be used to complete system implementation and establish automated data exchanges with government systems. FY11 funds will be maintained at the same level as FY10 funds ($400 000).
