Despite significant progress in the HIV response, 1 over-reliance on imported models of service delivery and limited African investments threatens this journey. A shift towards self-reliance is both needed and feasible, as Africa possesses the minds and resources required.2 In vi…

Economic implications of Covid-19 for the HIV epidemic and the response in Zimbabwe
Understanding the economic implications of COVID-19 for the HIV epidemic and response is critical for designing policies and strategies to effectively sustain past gains and accelerate progress to end these colliding pandemics. While considerable cross-national empirical evidence exists at the global level, there is a paucity of such deep-dive evidence at national level. This article addresses this gap. While Zimbabwe experienced fewer COVID-19 c…
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on people living with HIV in Zimbabwe

Promoting progress in child survival across four African countries
Despite numerous international and national efforts, only 12 countries in the World Health Organization's African Region met the Millennium Development Goal #4 (MDG#4) to reduce under-five mortality by two-thirds by 2015. Given the variability across sub-Saharan Africa, a four-country study was undertaken to examine barriers and facilitators of child survival prior to 2015. Liberia and Zambia were chosen to represent countries making substantial …
Impact of a critical health workforce shortage on child health in Zimbabwe
Despite notable progress reducing global under-five mortality rates, insufficient progress in most sub-Saharan African nations has prevented the achievement of Millennium Development Goal four (MDG#4) to reduce under-five mortality by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015. Country-level assessments of factors underlying why some African countries have not been able to achieve MDG#4 have not been published. Zimbabwe was included in a four-country study…
