The Health Communication Partnership Associate Award (HCP AA), a six-year project funded by USAID, addresses individual and community health priorities in Zambia. The project is led by Save the Children in partnership with CCP, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, the Zambian Government and many local nongovernmental organizations in Zambia. HCP AA builds on the foundation of ZIHPCOMM which changed individual behavior, mobilized communities, created an enabling environment for sound health practices, and made social services more people-centered. CCP uses the strategic approaches of community mobilization, leadership, mobilization of youth, and message harmonization to support Zambian health priorities around HIV/AIDS, family planning and reproductive health, child survival, adolescent health and malaria.

Featured Projects
Research to Prevention (R2P) is a five-year HIV prevention project funded by USAID. R2P is led by the Johns Hopkins Center for Global Health and managed by CCP. R2Ppartners with faculty throughout the Johns Hopkins Schools of Public Health, Medicine and Nursing, as well as Tulane University, the Medical University of South Carolina, and the University of North Carolina. R2P seeks to answer the question: What are the most effective interventions for preventing the spread of HIV? R2P aims to promote greater use of evidence in the design and implementation of HIV prevention programs in countries most affected by the HIV epidemic. In partnership with organizations in developing countries, R2P will conduct research to identify the most effective interventions for preventing HIV, promote increased use of data to guide programs and policies, and build capacity for applied research among health professionals.
Staying Alive is MTV's global HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention campaign aimed at youth. As a new extension of this project, MTV is repackaging and expanding Staying Alive materials for use by community-based youth outreach groups in an initiative dubbed, “Staying Alive in a Box.” With one year of funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, CCP is leading a series of research studies that will provide formative input into program development, monitor implementation and assess impact of this initiative in three countries: Kenya, Zambia and Trinidad & Tobago. The research will include baseline and end-line surveys, reception analysis, focus group discussions and feedback from listening groups. Results of the studies will strengthen the Staying Alive in a Box strategy and demonstrate the potential of local community-based interventions tied to an international movement to shift youth norms, reduce stigma associated with HIV/AIDS and reduce risk behavior.
Strengthening the AIDS Response, Zambia (STARZ), a five-year project funded by DFID, was a technical assistance program that provided institutional strengthening to the National AIDS Council (NAC) as well as civil society and the private sector to better coordinate and implement the national response to HIV and AIDS. STARZ also strengthened the ability of NAC to collect and disseminate strategic information, including the establishment of a national monitoring and evaluation system and the national resource centre, to facilitate information dissemination. These aspects of the programme were fully integrated into the NAC structures. Beyond that, STARZ provided over 10 million USD in small and medium grants to communities and NGOs, and provided support to the private sector for the mainstreaming of HIV and AIDS.
The Zambia Integrated Systems Strengthening Program (ZISSP) is a USAID program designed to increase utilization of critical high- impact health services through a health systems strengthening approach.

The program focuses on the following high-impact health services; HIV/AIDS, malaria, family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH), maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH), and nutrition. ZISSP is operating in 9 provinces and 27 districts of Zambia. ZISSP is led by Abt Associates, and JHU∙CCP leads the community level BCC activities.
