Human Resources for Health (HRH) Capacity Building in Malawi under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR): Malawi faces chronic shortages, skill mix imbalances, and uneven geographical distribution of professionally qualified health workers such as medical doctors, clinical officers, nurse midwives, and allied health professionals. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to provide technical assistance (TA) to the Government of Malawi in support of the national HIV response through the secondment of technical assistance (Technical assistants recruited and posted to requesting institutions to continue support to the HIV program (TA positions for Care and Treatment, Logistics and Supply Chain, Monitoring and Evaluation)) to the Ministry of Health (MOH) and other organizations, implementation of a fellowship program to develop technical and leadership capacity for HIV program management, provision of technical assistance to regulatory bodies (Medical Council of Malawi, Nurses and Midwives Council of Malawi and Pharmacy Medicines and Poisons Board), and improvement of the quality of in-service and pre-service education for critical health worker cadres in collaboration with Ministry of Health and training institutions under the University of Malawi and the Christian Health Association of Malawi (CHAM). Key outcomes of this program include the development and dissemination of technical guidelines, teaching materials, and tools for curricula strengthening. Teaching sites will be appropriately equipped and staffed. Capacity gaps in national programs will be addressed through the recruitment and deployment of technical assistants & fellows. In addition, the roles of regulatory bodies in education will be strengthened through the provision of technical assistance.
