Baylor College of Medicine-Children’s Foundation Malawi
Baylor College of Medicine Children’s Foundation – Malawi (BCM-CFM) is a not-
for-profit organization working in partnership with the Malawi government in
the health sector. Our Mission is to provide high-quality, high-impact, highly
ethical pediatric and family-centered health care, health professional
training and clinical research, focused on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria,
malnutrition and other conditions impacting the health and well-being of
children and families worldwide.
The Baylor-Tingathe program was designed in 2008 to respond to suboptimal
uptake of PMTCT and pediatric HIV services in Malawi. The program seeks to
support Malawi in reaching the ambitious UNAIDS 95-95-95 goals, by improving
the identification of HIV-positive persons, timely treatment initiation, and
long-term engagement in care. The program is funded by USAID, and is currently
operating in 7 districts in Malawi. Baylor-Malawi is seeking qualified

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND POSITION DESCRIPTION
*> Project description*> The Study Coordinator will support an NIMH-
funded implementation science study on HIV voluntary assisted contact tracing
(ACT). ACT is an evidence-based practice that efficiently identifies HIV-
infected persons in need of HIV treatment and HIV-uninfected persons in need
of HIV prevention. Malawi, like many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, has
adopted ACT policies. However, Malawi’s ACT implementation has been sub-
optimal due to deficits in health worker capacity and clinical coordination.

Hill and [ Tingathe ](https//www.tingathe.org/) , a Malawi-based PEPFAR
implementing partner that supports Malawi’s Ministry of Health. Through this
grant, we will build on our team’s preliminary work to 1) finalize a set of
implementation strategies (theory-based health worker training and continuous
quality improvement); 2) package these strategies into a blended learning
platform that combines digital and face-to-face modalities; and 3) rigorously
evaluate the package for implementation, service uptake, and cost-
effectiveness outcomes.
