Programs

South Africa

In collaboration with South African partner institutions, PGH has undertaken a number of research, training, and policy initiatives in the Republic of South Africa and the Southern African region. Partner institutions include the Centre for AIDS Development, Research and Evaluation (CADRE), Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC), University of KwaZulu-Natal, and the Perinatal HIV Research Unit (PHRU) of the University of the Witwatersrand.

PGH is completing a major HIV/AIDS research project in South Africa in collaboration with local and international universities. Project Accept is an NIMH-funded HIV prevention trial with sites in South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, and Zimbabwe. UCLA serves as the multisite coordinating center and partners with the PHRU in Soweto and HSRC in Vulindlela, South Africa.

In addition, UCLA PGH collaborates with Columbia University on the M•A•C AIDS Fund Leadership Initiative. The Leadership Initiative is a one-year training program designed to help cultivate emerging women leaders in South Africa who will make a major contribution to HIV/AIDS prevention advocacy at the local, regional, or national levels. The focus of the program is on reducing the spread of HIV and the impact of AIDS by addressing the role of gender inequality.
