Funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), this five-year project builds upon activities funded by CDC to support Global Health Security through implementation of programs and activities that focus on protecting and improving health globally through partnerships with Ministries of Health and other institutions. With an initial emphasis on addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, the project is supporting countries—including Zimbabwe—and carrying out regional work in West Africa and South America to improve prevention of avoidable epidemics, including naturally occurring outbreaks and intentional or accidental releases of dangerous pathogens, and to improve ability to detect threats early and respond rapidly and effectively to public health threats of international concern. The project is being implemented by a Jhpiego-led consortium that includes the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Global Scientific Solutions for Health, and Johns Hopkins University Center for Global Health.

With funding from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Jhpiego is supporting five countries, including Zimbabwe, to address HIV prevention and unmet need for sexual/reproductive health (SRH) services among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) by enhancing HIV/SRH integration and readiness. In each country, Jhpiego supports the implementation of time-bound, costed and feasible actions to strengthen the provision and uptake of services for preventing HIV and sexually transmitted infections among AGYW in SRH platforms.
