Overview
WHO’s Global HIV, Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections Programme has made an important contribution to the Global Fund Differentiated Service Delivery Strategic Initiative, through its normative leadership, the provision of technical oversight, quality assurance of technical assistance and deliverables to ensure that service delivery models and adaptations were aligned with WHO guidance.
This report summarizes insights and lessons learned from delivering technical assistance in Strategic Initiative countries during 2021–2023. It describes examples of how technical support provided through the Strategic Initiative has helped to catalyse the implementation and scaling up of WHO guidance in 6 countries – Cameroon, Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria, the Philippines and Zambia – and identifies key lessons for future provision of technical assistance.
