The overall goal is to support the training of public sector health professionals in leadership, management and governance issues with the aim of producing a cadre that is effective in leading and managing the health service delivery for improved patient care outcomes. This will be done through provision of health leadership, management and Governance training at all levels of the National Health care system.

The coverage of these activities will be national and targeting all health managers in the public sector in Zimbabwe. More emphasis will, however, be given to the Districts with support to Provincial and National Levels.

The cost-efficiency strategy of this cooperative agreement will be based on the use of experienced facilitators from the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare and conducting of training at low cost venues. The pool of trainers at the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare will be created through the training of trainers strategy.

The cooperative agreement’s strategy to transition to the government partner is through the capacity building of the existing leaders within the public sector across all levels of care. The key contributions of this program to health systems strengthening and human resources for health will be improved leadership and management of HIV/AIDS related activities to scale up and attain the Millennium Development Goals and other health related targets through efficient district health management.

Monitoring and evaluation of the activities is going to be done through pre and post training tests, training reports, site visit reports, data quality assessments, quarterly progress reports and evaluations of training beneficiaries during district support visits.

Mechanism Target Information

Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.
