The NAC HRH Project, managed by CHAM in collaboration with the Blantyre District Council, focused on overseeing 37 Health Surveillance Assistants (HSAs) to combat HIV through Integrated Disease Surveillance and Reporting. Spanning from October 2022 to September 2024, the project successfully retained all deployed healthcare workers, ensuring their salaries and benefits were paid. As the project approached its end, it entered a six-month no-cost extension to transition the HSAs to government payroll by April 1, 2024.
Key activities implemented included salary payments, performance appraisals, forming a multi-stakeholder taskforce to oversee the transition, and developing a roadmap for the transition process. These efforts ensured a smooth transition and continued effectiveness of the HIV response in Blantyre.
