The Single Eligibility Justification is the aforementioned mandate under PEFAR legislation and the jurisdictional authority of MOH and other government entities to ensure sustainability and country-owned programs. The Rwanda MOH is responsible for managing health facilities and human resources offering comprehensive HIV and integrated health services. Establishing cooperative agreements with MOH provides a relationship where CDC can provide the necessary technical assistance and mentorship needed to ensure that the MOH delivers the services according to USG expectations. PEPFAR is supporting the national HIV response which is implemented by MOH at their health facilities. MOH has been the lead for health policy and systems strengthening in the Republic of Rwanda since it was established. MOH is responsible for the management, administration and staffing of health facilities implementing PEPFAR HIV services. It is the primary official government source in the Republic of Rwanda for providing these public health services. There is no other agency within Rwanda with the mandate from the GOR to provide these services. |
