ZHECT is also a capacity leader and has a wealth of experience in providing Sexual Reproductive Health and HIV prevention and mitigation services to organizations and communities mainly in Zambia. ZHECT also works in the area of Gender Based Violence and Economic Empowerment among vulnerable and hard to reach communities.
ZHECT has been awarded a grant from USAID through Panagora to implement the Localize Global Health Security project in Kalomo, Kazungula, Livingstone and Sinazongwe districts of Southern province of Zambia.
The USAID’s Localize Global Health Security (LGHS) Project’s goal is to work with local entities to address critical health security gaps in public health at the sub-national level in target districts in Zambia using the One Health approach that integrates human, animal and environmental health. The focus of the project will be on prevention, detection and notification of suspected zoonotic diseases through Risk Communication and Community Engagement, working with two other partners- CIHEB and CHZ that will focus on Community-Based Surveillance and Workforce Development.
The purpose of the LGHS Zambia grants program is to further strengthen, establish and sustain Zambia’s implementation of Global Health Security (GHS) priorities and compliance with International Health Regulations (2005) at the sub-national level in the Southern province.
Specifically, the Grantees will:
1. Improve the ability to prevent, detect and notify suspected zoonotic disease threats at the sub-national level
2. Strengthen community-level ability to identify, respond and mitigate the risk associated with animal-to-human transmission of diseases.
3. Strengthen or establish multi-sectoral linkages with existing public health security systems and structures to improve timely and complete reporting of events and feedback to the communities of health security threats.
