It also aims to achieve a Burma free from Tuberculosis (TB) by reaching every person with TB, curing those in need of treatment, and preventing the spread of disease and new infections.
The AIS Activity prioritizes service delivery to areas and populations with highest disease prevalence, in coordination with USAID-funded procurements, the Global Fund and Access to Health Fund partners.
The Activity will span over 5 years in continuation of the USAID HIV/AIDS Flagship Project and is funded by the U.S President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Global Accelerator to End Tuberculosis through USAID. To achieve its goals the AIS Activity brings together 12 partner organizations led by Community Partners International as the prime recipient.
