Description
The Southern Africa Technical Support Facility (TSF) was established in 2005 to improve access to timely, high quality short-term consultants to support scaling up of national HIV and AIDS responses. TSF services are available to National AIDS Commissions, Health and other Ministries, as well as their international and national partners in the HIV and AIDS response.
The TSF is supported by UNAIDS and its cosponsors as part of their strategy to help to strengthen co-ordination and capacity for effective responses at country level. The TSF is managed by Health and Development Africa (Pty) Ltd (HDA),
The programme covers 14 Southern African countries and currently provides 3000 days of quality assured, short term consultant support per annum to HIV and AIDS programmes. This includes working with countries in proposal development and grant implementation for the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. Over 70% of assignments are done by regional consultants and the TSF has an active capacity development programme for consultants and country partners in various aspects of programme planning, management, implementation and M&E.
The TSF also hosts the database of HIV/AIDS Prevention consultants for UNAIDS www.hivpreventionexperts.org
