Southern Sudan

As Southern Sudan rebuilds after years of civil war, IntraHealth is working with the Sudan People’s Liberation Army and local nongovernmental organizations to establish and support HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and care programs, including voluntary counseling and testing and prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. In a region that has had relatively low HIV prevalence, such programs are critical as soldiers are demobilized, displaced residents return home, and trade and labor migration increase.

IntraHealth has also supported the Government of Southern Sudan’s efforts to hire and manage its health workforce by helping to establish a national human resources information system, implement a strategic approach to workforce planning and development, and build leadership and management skills among health professionals.

Current Projects:

• Reducing the Impact of HIV Project (funded by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, led by IntraHealth)
• The Provision of Prevention and Awareness Services among Uniformed Cadres in the Fight against HIV/AIDS in Southern Sudan (funded by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, led by IntraHealth)

Past Projects:

• Capacity Project (funded by USAID, led by IntraHealth)
