What We Do

Since 2002, CDC-Namibia has assisted the Namibian Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) to develop and implement an integrated comprehensive package of HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment programs. CDC-Namibia provides targeted technical assistance by building the capacity of Namibia’s healthcare workforce to lead and manage its HIV program more effectively. Technical assistance has strengthened national efforts to prevent the sexual and biomedical transmission of HIV, expand care and treatment services, and help prevent mother- to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV.  In line with PEPFAR’s mission, the aim of all support to MoHSS is to ensure that Namibia soon achieves an AIDS-Free generation.
