Description

The Global Action Towards Epidemic control in Sub-national units in Nigeria (4GATES) is a comprehensive HIV prevention, care, and treatment project being implemented across Faith-based and Government-owned health facilities initially in Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States but later Abia, Delta, Enugu and Imo States. It is a 5-year project (October 2017 to September 2022) implemented by Caritas Nigeria and its consortium partners namely Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and Pro-Health International. Caritas Nigeria is the Lead Implementing Partner for PEPFAR in these states. The program works to scale up HIV and TB services efficiently and sustainably through effective GoN and inter-agency collaborations, leveraging resources to ensure cost-effective interventions and minimize duplication of efforts. The 4GATES program uses innovative strategies such as the SURGE for intensified HIV & TB case finding as well as new service delivery models (NSDM) to strengthen linkages between the community and health facilities and improve retention in care.
