Project Background:
Palladium is implementing the USAID-funded Translating Data for

systems to support HIV activities across strategic PEPFAR countries.
Data.FI is part of a suite of large-scale global HIV programs that USAID has
awarded and represents the next generation of HIV/AIDS programs. Data.FI plays
a key role in USAID's goals of helping partner countries on their Journey to
Self-Reliance and transitioning local organizations to prime recipients of USG
funding.

The overall goal of the Data.FI project is to improve global, regional,
and national in-depth analyses of HIV epidemiologic and program data that can
be directly applied to expedite the achievement of PEPFAR targets to attain and
sustain control of the HIV epidemic. The focus also includes directly
supporting host country governments and implementing partners to further
enhance existing health information system platforms to inform management
responses to well-defined gaps in HIV/AIDS programming. In order to
ensure rapid access to high quality data, Data.FI works towards: accelerating
data utilization to rapidly course correct and take to scale cost-effective and
impactful activities, models and approaches required to attain and maintain HIV

capabilities to collect, exchange, adapt, govern, and visualize information in
order to track the attainment and maintenance of HIV epidemic control; and
supporting the transition of prime funding and implementation to capable local
partners.
