Target, Accelerate and Sustain Quality Care (TASQC) for HIV epidemic control.

With support from PEPFAR through USAID, OPHID leads the TASQC consortium. TASQC partners (OPHID, KAPNEK and ZNNP+) collaborate with the Ministry of Health and Child Care to provide quality HIV, PMTCT of HIV, TB care and treatment services in 15 districts across 4 provinces of Zimbabwe.

The Goal of the TASQC program is to contribute to the achievement and sustainability of HIV epidemic control in Zimbabwe through the provision of technical, financial, and material support towards the management, coordination and provision of comprehensive clinical care services within the national HIV program. In partnership with the MOHCC and guided by national strategic plans for HIV Prevention, Care and Treatment, the TASQC program support a package of interventions to strengthen health systems, specifically the bridge between facilities and community structures, the development of innovative, evidence-based models and, design of upgraded tools and relevant technologies to scale up high quality HIV prevention, care and treatment services. The program will integrate three of the four USAID/Zimbabwe’s cross-cutting issues, including gender, youth, and governance in the facility and community.

By the end of 2025, the TASQC program will have supported the MOHCC to have achieved the 95-95-95 targets, by ensuring that 1) more than 95% of HIV positive clients in all sub-population groups will be identified and initiated on treatment in all supported districts, 2) more than 95% of ART clients will be retained on treatment, 3) more than 95% of ART clients will be virally suppressed. The program will have also strengthened in national capacity to collect and analyse data for decision making and have enhanced the engagement of the private sector in the national HIV response.
