Zimbabwe Technical Assistance, Training and Education Center for Health

What Zimbabwe Technical Assistance, Training and Education Center for Health does

Zimbabwe Technical Assistance, Training and Education Center for Health (Zim-TTECH) is a Harare-headquartered Private Voluntary Organization (PVO 125/23) that delivers HIV/AIDS and TB prevention, care, treatment, and support services in partnership with Zimbabwe's Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC). Operating across 703 facilities in 31 districts spanning five provinces — Mashonaland East, Mashonaland West, Mashonaland Central, Matabeleland North, and Harare — the organization deploys over 800 skilled healthcare workers and 4,832 community-based workers to complement government staff. Zim-TTECH serves multiple beneficiary segments including people living with HIV, adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) aged 10–24 through the DREAMS program, uncircumcised males through VMMC, and children and adolescents affected by HIV, offering HIV testing, ART initiation and management, viral load monitoring, PMTCT, TB services, voluntary medical male circumcision, DREAMS programming, and cervical cancer screening.

The organization's foundational technology is the Impilo Electronic Health Record (E-HR) / Case-Based Surveillance (CBS) platform, built on OpenHIE interoperability standards and integrated with DHIS2 for reporting, LIMS for laboratory data, and logistics information systems for pharmacy. Deployed across 44 districts, Impilo supports patient-level monitoring across the HIV prevention and care cascade, recency testing for epidemic surveillance, facility and client registries, and public health response analytics. Zim-TTECH's programmatic portfolio is organized into four core offerings: HIV Prevention, Care, Treatment and Support (delivered through the ZimPAAC consortium), the DREAMS program for AGYW, VMMC (delivered through the ZAZIC consortium), and the Impilo E-HR/CBS Strategic Information program. The organization implements programs through consortium structures bundling Zvandiri, Pangaea Zimbabwe, Padare Enkundleni, ZNNP+, ZACH, ZiCHIRe, and Bantwana Zimbabwe.

Zim-TTECH's business model is grant-funded public health service delivery. The organization is the prime recipient of four PEPFAR cooperative agreements administered through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, covering HIV Care and Treatment, DREAMS, VMMC, and Strengthening Epidemiology and Strategic Information. All services are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries through MoHCC-supported facilities, community outreach, and DREAMS safe spaces. The organization was established in 2020 as a local spin-off of the University of Washington's I-TECH, which had operated in Zimbabwe since 2003. Revenue mechanics rely on continued PEPFAR/CDC appropriations and MoHCC partnership continuity; there are no commercial customers, fee-for-service revenue streams, or diversified donor relationships disclosed in the source data.

Core offering

Zim-TTECH provides technical assistance and direct HIV/TB service delivery to the Zimbabwe Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC) through four PEPFAR/CDC-funded programs: HIV Care and Treatment (ZimPAAC consortium), the DREAMS HIV prevention program for adolescent girls and young women, Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (ZAZIC consortium), and the national Impilo Electronic Health Record/Case-Based Surveillance system. The organization deploys over 800 skilled health workers and 4,832 community-based workers across 703 facilities in 31 districts in five provinces, delivering prevention, testing, ART initiation and retention, viral load monitoring, VMMC, and DREAMS services free of charge to beneficiaries.

Product overview

Zim-TTECH operates as a health technical assistance organization managing four PEPFAR-funded projects delivered through distinct programs. The Impilo E-HR/CBS serves as the foundational health information system enabling interoperability across DHIS2, LIMS, and Logistics Information Systems. The HIV Prevention, Care, Treatment, and Support program forms the core service delivery component, while DREAMS provides specialized HIV prevention for adolescent girls and young women, and VMMC delivers surgical HIV prevention services. These programs are implemented through consortium arrangements—ZimPAAC for HIV Care and Treatment and DREAMS, and ZAZIC for VMMC—in 703 facilities across 31 districts.

Direct peers

• mothers2mothers: PEPFAR-funded African NGO employing mentor mothers to deliver PMTCT, AGYW, and HIV prevention services across multiple sub-Saharan African countries. Highly comparable to Zim-TTECH's DREAMS model in target population (AGYW), mentor-driven delivery approach, and PEPFAR funding structure.
• International Training and Education Center for Health (I-TECH): Founding organization of Zim-TTECH and ongoing technical partner within ZimPAAC. I-TECH is a University of Washington center that has worked in Zimbabwe since 2003 and operates globally with a similar HIV health-systems strengthening mandate. Directly comparable as both a technical-assistance NGO and a PEPFAR implementing partner.
• Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF): Major PEPFAR prime implementing pediatric and adult HIV programs across Africa. Co-represented with Zim-TTECH's EHR team at OpenHIE conferences and named in Zim-TTECH's leadership pedigree (Dr. Makunike-Chikwinya formerly at EGPAF). Comparable as a large HIV/AIDS-focused nonprofit working alongside MoHCC-equivalent ministries.
• Pangaea Zimbabwe AIDS Trust: Named ZimPAAC and DREAMS consortium partner, providing HIV prevention and community-intervention expertise in Matabeleland North. A locally registered Zimbabwean NGO operating under the same CDC cooperative agreements, with overlapping target populations (AGYW, PLWH, key populations).
• Zvandiri: Core ZimPAAC consortium partner providing Community Adolescent Treatment Supporters (CATS) for differentiated service delivery to children and adolescents living with HIV. Operates in the same Zimbabwean facilities and on the same PEPFAR cooperative agreement, with comparable community-health-worker deployment models.

Broad incumbents

• Jhpiego: Johns Hopkins-affiliated global health nonprofit and major PEPFAR prime implementing HIV, maternal health, and cervical cancer screening programs across Africa. Comparable as a competing PEPFAR prime with a technical-assistance and capacity-building model similar to Zim-TTECH's ZimPAAC approach.
• ICAP at Columbia University: Major PEPFAR prime implementing HIV service delivery, health systems strengthening, and population-based surveys in 30+ countries including Zimbabwe. Comparable as an academic-affiliated HIV implementation partner and a direct competitor for CDC cooperative agreements in Zimbabwe.
• FHI 360: One of the largest global PEPFAR prime implementers, operating HIV/AIDS, TB, and integrated health programs across more than 60 countries including Zimbabwe. Broader portfolio than Zim-TTECH (education, economic development) but directly comparable as a competing PEPFAR prime with multi-disease mandates.
• Population Services International (PSI) Zimbabwe: Global social-marketing and HIV prevention organization with a long-standing Zimbabwe country platform delivering HIV testing, VMMC, and PrEP services. Comparable as a PEPFAR-funded HIV implementer in the same Zimbabwean geography and population segments, though with a more commercial service-delivery orientation.

Regional players

• Right to Care: South Africa-based PEPFAR prime implementing HIV/TB programs across the Southern Africa region. Operates a comparable model of facility-based service delivery and technical assistance to a national Department of Health, with similar consortium and workforce-deployment structures, but focused on South Africa rather than Zimbabwe.
