IPHASA Peer Learning Visit Grant

This grant supports a learning visit of one African country team of three to five people to another country or site in Africa that has successfully implemented a strategy and/or programme of interest. The applying team should be able to indicate the gap in its programme and how the learning visit will help provide a learning experience to address the gap. To support translation of evidence into policy and practice, and in order to have the best practice scaled up, the teams will be encouraged to work with at least one ministry of health official from the applicant country responsible for PMTCT services, paediatric HIV testing services, paediatrics HIV care and treatment services and sexual and reproductive health and rights (including for example pre- and post-natal services). There are no restrictions on the number of applications that can be submitted per country. The award covers travel costs for a learning visit in 2024 with a budget up to USD 9,000. In addition, the recipient will be invited to attend the third edition of IPHASA (planned for 2024) to report on progress and results.
