The Delivering Technical Assistance Project (DELTA)

Overview

DELTA is currently implementing three assignments in Uganda, with U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding. The first centers on development of a pediatric and adolescent HIV testing and counselling eligibility screening tool. EGPAF will work with the Uganda MOH and the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development to develop the tool. The second assignment builds upon this project, and will validate the screening tool among children and adolescents in the outpatient department at health facilities, and among orphans and vulnerable children populations. The third assignment focuses on supporting the roll-out of differentiated service delivery (DSD) models for HIV care countrywide. This work supports the development and inclusion of DSD in the revised Consolidated National 2016 ART Guidelines and the development of related DSD materials (e.g. an implementation manual, training curriculum, and the national roll-out plan).
