Funding has been agreed for a project to Construct an analytical framework to map the level of integration of ART programmes in country health systems. This project is led by LSHTM, collaborating with Lighthouse in Malawi, and ZAMBART (TBC) in Zambia.
Aims- To develop and refine an analytical framework for mapping integration of the various components of HIV treatment programmes within national health systems over time;
- To map the level and progression of integration of HIV treatment programmes into the national health systems in Malawi and Zambia.
Objectives- To develop an analytical framework for mapping the level of integration of a public sector HIV treatment programme with the existing health system over time, and refine the framework based on objective 2.
- To map the structure and evolution of HIV treatment programmes in Malawi and Zambia, establishing the degree and type of integration of different programme components
- To identify possible impacts of integration or lack thereof on effectiveness, efficiency and equity of HIV treatment to inform the development of more substantial follow up research in this area.
