To kick off the GC7 grant, a retreat was held for the newly formed Project Monitoring Unit (PMU). The four-day retreat was designed to familiarise new team members with their roles, reflect on past successes, identify areas for improvement, and discuss actionable strategies for future endeavors.
In her welcome remark, director-general of NACA, Dr Temitope Ilori, highlighted the significant accomplishments of the GC6 grant.
Dr Ilori said these accomplishments include training healthcare personnel, equipping laboratories, and meaningfully engaging communities. She urged participants to build on these successes in tackling HIV challenges.
While we celebrate these remarkable achievements, we must task ourselves to improve upon our past efforts by being efficient and intentional in sustainably addressing the public health challenges of HIV through the use of reliable data for effective decision-making.” Dr Ilori stated.
