THRIVE-Zimbabwe aims to evaluate the STOP-AIDS package across an entire rural Zimbabwean district of Shurugwi. The project seeks to identify and overcome barriers to ​its ​implementation at the community and primary care levels.

A key activity is a comprehensive Training Gap Assessment across participating countries. The aim was to better understand the current capacities and unmet needs of health staff directly involved in the implementation of the AHD package of care, including pediatricians, nurses, lab technicians, counselors, and others, to optimize its implementation.

When the U.S. Government issued a stop-work order and froze foreign aid funding, it led to significant disruptions across low-and middle-income countries. In Uganda, key health programs ground to a halt.

When the funding freeze hit, community outreach services ground to a halt, including the ones that were used by Night, an ART client in Uganda.

The THRIVE project aims to optimize the implementation of STOP AIDS package through research and stakeholder collaboration. A key component of the project is the Pediatric Expert Advisory Group (PEAG), a stakeholder group led by Penta under the THRIVE project to facilitate cross-country learning, review the current pediatric-specific evidence, and inform future research and tailored interventions to ensure that each child receives the most appropriate level of care.
