Grant Description

The purpose of this program is to strengthen the Human Resources for Health (HRH) and epidemiological capacity in Guyana through training programs targeting local health professionals. Developing this capacity locally will contribute to the PEPFAR II goals of increased local government ownership, leadership and management of the response to HIV/AIDS. Guyana does not have a Baccalaureate or Master Degree Epidemiology program in Guyana and there are only two trained Epidemiologists working within the Guyana Ministry of Health. Both of the epidemiologists received training outside of Guyana. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will improve and strengthen Guyanaуs public health system and infrastructure and build sustainable capacity in epidemiology, surveillance and public health management.
