Regional Economic Development Service Office
The Regional Economic Development Services
Office for East and Southern Africa (REDSO-ESA) focuses on
enhancing regional capacity to improve health systems, through
strengthening regional institutions, enhancing policy dialogue,
and supporting training institutions to improve technical
capacity. REDSO is funding the Commonwealth Regional Community
Health Secretariat, representing 14 African Ministries of
Health, to develop a 5-year HIV/AIDS regional strategy and
resource mobilization plan. In 2001, REDSO will support a
training needs assessment in nine African countries, to be
carried out by the Centre for African Family Studies, and
will fund additional training courses in HIV/AIDS prevention
and care based on the findings of that study. REDSO will also
expand its current work to strengthen financial health systems
in the region by including HIV/AIDS in National Health Accounts.
