In the context of a joint collaboration between the Zimbabwean Ministry of 
Health, the European Commission (EC) and the Institute of Public Health, 
Epidemiology and Development (ISPED) of the University Victor Segalen 
Bordeaux 2, a three-year comprehensive HIV Treatment and Care programme 
based on the MTCT Plus model will be initiated February 2005 in two rural 
districts of Zimbabwe.

The EC programme is made of a consortium of three operators (ISPED,CESVI and 
COSV)  and it aims to enhance the  capacity of the Zimbabwean health system 
in order to improve access to the most vulnerable rural populations to 
comprehensive HIV care.

Among the main components of the programme are:
-         the scale-up and reinforcement  of voluntary counselling and 
testing of HIV (VCT) and PMTCT intervention, within existing mother and 
child health services in the targeted districts and health centres;
-         the implementation of treatment and care services to HIV affected 
households (3000 persons) including Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy 
(HAART) (700 persons).
-         the support of primary HIV prevention activities through basic 
medical and psychosocial care for people living with HIV/AIDS within local 
communities, specifically families identified by the PMTCT programme.
-         capacity building of community-based organisations and network.

Terms of reference

The programme will be implemented by ISPED under the direct supervision of 
the Public health project leader, in partnership with the Zimbabwean 
Ministry of Health and other local and international partners.

The Public health project leader will be under the administrative authority

the Zimbabwe Ministry of Health, the provincial authorities and local health

-         producing guidelines, protocols and training material to the 
benefit of the local health and community staff.

He/she will contribute to the strengthening of the local heath system,
