and graduates gain practical first hand experience by participating in assignments and projects designed to

enhance their academic training. In Vietnam ASPH Fellows work under the mentorship of experienced

CDC technical and management staff and make considerable contributions to PEPFAR. CDC Vietnam

supports this program with the goal of providing a multidisciplinary international experience for two future

public health professionals (one each in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City).

ASPH Fellows in Vietnam are important members of the PEPFAR Vietnam team. Though they participate

in many activities and assignments during their year-long Fellowship, their positions are primarily focused

on provision of management support to the Grants Management Unit within the CDC Vietnam office. Each

Fellow serves as a primary point of contact for one of the larger programmatically comprehensive

cooperative agreements (the Ministry of Health in Hanoi, and the Provincial AIDS Committee in Ho Chi Minh

City) assisting Government of Vietnam counterparts in developing work plans, budgets, accomplishing

quarterly and annual reporting, developing applications for continued funding, etc. Their work requires them

to interact directly and frequently with government partners while liaising with CDC management and

financial staff and the PEPFAR, Vietnam technical teams.

The cooperative agreements with the Ministry of Health and Ho Chi Minh City Provincial AIDS Committee

support a broad but integrated range of activities to address the HIV epidemic in Vietnam. These two key

government partners work with the ASPH Fellows and the larger PEPFAR Vietnam team to implement

activities across a variety of program areas including HVOP.
