Zambia Country Program

The Center for Global Health & Development works through its local representative partner, the Zambia Center for Applied Health Research and Development (ZCAHRD), to further public health research in Zambia through direct engagement with local experts and researchers. It also serves as a partner to the Government of Zambia in capacity building for the health sector. The service delivery work of the CGHD focuses primarily on prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV and early infant diagnosis (EID) for pediatric HIV care.

Led by Godfrey Biemba, a member of the BU faculty and native to Zambia, the CGHD’s Zambia country program employs over 30 local Zambian staff who design, implement, and manage over 10 research and service delivery projects throughout the country. The CGHD has the capacity to design and implement research studies, collect and analyze data, manage local ethical review and governmental approval processes, as well as serve as the logistical and administrative base for Boston University faculty, staff, and students while they are in the country. We are well established as an active participant within various Technical Working Groups at the Zambian Ministry of Health in efforts to guide informed public health policy decisions and their implementation. We currently have offices in the capital, Lusaka, as well as three other sites in Southern Province where most of our research and all of our implementation activities occur.
