Reaching Impact, Saturation and Epidemic Control

Overview

Reaching Impact, Saturation, and Epidemic Control (RISE), funded by the United States Government (USG), works with countries to achieve a shared vision of attaining and maintaining control of the HIV and AIDS epidemic, with stronger local partners capable of managing and achieving results through sustainable, self-reliant, and resilient health systems by 2024. RISE works with ministries of health to adjust implementation approaches within its USG-funded programs to continue service delivery and technical assistance for HIV and TB services, as well as to initiate new COVID-19 interventions using existing platforms and networks. 

As a core partner under the RISE consortium, MSH helps countries achieve national epidemic control targets by strengthening key health systems functions, including health information systems, human resources for health, financial systems, and supply chains.

Highlight

In Cameroon, RISE is working with the Ministry of Public Health and partners to ensure that HIV prevention and treatment services remain a part of the essential service delivery package for universal health coverage (UHC). And in Haiti, we supported the Ministry of Public Health and Population and the National AIDS Program in their efforts to enhance HIV client-provider relationships and improve the quality of HIV services in five departments through a patient-centered service delivery approach to retain new and continuing patients in treatment, thereby contributing to the UNAIDS 95-95-95 goals. As Zambia moves closer to achieving HIV epidemic control, RISE is helping the Ministry of Health maintain and build on the progress made over the past five years by developing strategies to enhance human resources for health (HRH) investments and create a sustainable HIV response system.
