Description
This opportunity, offered by the CDC Global Health Center, aims to strengthen regional capacity in Central America (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama) to respond to HIV, tuberculosis (TB), and other global health priorities. The program is designed to help countries achieve the 95-95-95 HIV targets, transition site-level support to local governments, and improve prevention, testing, and treatment services for populations most at risk. Activities must facilitate country ownership, build healthcare workforce capacity, enhance data systems, and support sustainable, resilient health systems to tackle infectious disease threats.
