Since 2005, I-TECH has been partnering with the local health ministry, national programs, and local organizations in Trinidad and Tobago to provide technical assistance and capacity building in support of the national response to HIV and AIDS. I-TECH Trinidad and Tobago is currently funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and aims to support sustainable health systems, build healthcare worker capacity to provide comprehensive HIV treatment and care and strengthen self-advocacy for people living with HIV.
Trinidad and Tobago is part of I-TECH’s Caribbean Regional Program and collaborates with the Caribbean Training and Education Center for Health (C-TECH) to share, adapt and consolidate materials and efforts. The program also, where possible, includes participants from other Caribbean countries in its capacity-building activities.
