Technical Support Facility
Eastern & Southern Africa

The Technical Support Facility Eastern and Southern Africa (TSF ESA) provides timely, high quality technical support for improved HIV programmes and strengthened health and community systems in 21 countries across the ESA region. Funded by UNAIDS and managed by Mott MacDonald, the overall objectives of TSF ESA are:

  • To support strategic and effective national AIDS responses through the provision of technical support to national governments, Country Coordinating Mechanisms, Global Fund principal and sub recipients, national AIDS councils, civil society partners, and other key stakeholders
  • To assist in the professional development of consultants within the region to provide relevant high quality technical support in identified technical areas
  • To build the capacity of country partners to effectively plan, manage, and implement health programmes through coaching and mentoring, organisational development and facilitating South-South exchange
  • To encourage a harmonized and collaborative approach in the delivery of technical support through knowledge transfer, mentoring, and dissemination of lessons learned

With more than 10 years’ experience, the TSF ESA is a respected provider of services in the health and social sectors, with clients ranging from local community-based organisations to national, regional and global level entities. We have a strong, strategic focus on supporting the full range of responses to HIV/AIDS. As part of the Mott MacDonald Group (MMG) the TSF ESA benefits from strong management systems, as well as a global network of competencies linked to health and broader development sectors that can be leveraged to enhance our services to local, regional and global clients.
