| | Partnership to Fight HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe
| PEPFAR is committed to supporting Zimbabweans as they garner the resources and strengthen the critical services necessary to fight HIV/AIDS. The U.S. Government team in Zimbabwe aims to strengthen the will and capacity of all Zimbabweans to demonstrate leadership and take action to address HIV/AIDS at all levels of society. This will be accomplished using a three-pronged approach: strengthening and intensifying transformative | | systems for prevention, treatment and care services; developing innovative, evidenced-based program models and tools that will be expanded to national scale with leveraged resources; and developing technical and organizational capacity of indigenous organizations to scale-up and sustain programs. This approach builds on Zimbabwe's previously well-developed health and training infrastructures, strong health-seeking behaviors, and widespread participation in organized religion. It also capitalizes on the dedication and commitment of public and private sector technical staff, and the on-going, active involvement of faith- and community-based organizations in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Progress Achieved in Zimbabwe: - 40,000 individuals receiving antiretroviral treatment in fiscal year 2008
- 109,500 pregnant women receiving prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) services in fiscal year 2008
- 15,700 pregnant women receiving antiretroviral prophylaxis for PMTCT in fiscal year 2008
- 254,900 counseling and testing encounters (in settings other than PMTCT) in fiscal year 2008
