Strengthening Human Resources for Health Capacity in the Republic of Rwanda under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR): The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) in Rwanda is to fill critical shortages of trained health care staff numbering in the thousands and enhance the skills of those charged with training the current and future cohorts of health professionals through increased enrollment in undergraduate and graduate programs, pre-service trainings and mentoring relationships. These efforts will create a sustainable supply of new health workers as well as future generations of health educators enabling the domestic system to become self-sufficient.

Activities conducted under the FOA will work to increase capacity in Rwanda of highly trained and health professionals. Sustainability will be ensured through enhanced training opportunities and availability of necessary equipment to continue training in future years.
