Welcome to the PEPFAR
Fellowship Programme, South Africa
Welcome to our website! We are proud of our fellows and their stories as well as the amazing work done by our PEPFAR Placement Partners. We invite you to browse through this site and by doing so share in our dream…
The PEPFAR Fellowship Programme (PFP) is an exciting initiative launched by PEPFAR and administrated by The Foundation for Professional Development. This programme gives young, skilled individuals with masters level education the opportunity to make a substantial difference in the South African healthcare environment.
Available vacancies give postgraduate students the opportunity to gain operational experience and the perception needed to operate optimally in the South African healthcare environment. Qualified individuals on the other hand, are furnished with valuable exposure to real life institutions as well as the experience and scarce skills needed to obtain permanent employment.
The project's focus was initially monitoring and evaluation, but the fellowship has recently expanded to include psychology, nursing, Health Management Information Systems (HMIS) and the medical provision of HIV and AIDS care and treatment. Fellows are given the opportunity to develop their skills and expertise while working with mentors on projects ranging from HIV and AIDS comprehensive treatment and TB integration management programmes, orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) support services, health systems development, and strategic information management, to scarce skills support such as infectious disease control, psychosocial assessment tool development, and HIV prevention integration.
