This program trains Brazilian field epidemiologists to rapidly respond to emerging health threats by gathering critical data and turning it into evidence-based action. FETP graduates have played important roles in responding to public health emergencies like zika, chikungunya, yellow fever, floods, and mudslides. </p> <p>In 2024, CDC worked with World Health Organization (WHO) and I-TECH to bring the <a href="https://www.go2itech.org/idash/" class="tp-link-policy" rel="noreferrer" data-domain-ext="org">Informatics and Data Science for Health (IDASH) Program<span class="visually-hidden sr-only" aria-label=" external icon" role="img"></span><span class="cdc-icon-external cdc-link-icon" aria-hidden="true" alt="external icon"></span></a> to five countries in South America, with substantial participation in Brazil.

CDC provides technical leadership and direct assistance to enhance HIV programming, monitoring, evaluation, and epidemiological surveillance. For instance, together with Fiocruz and other partners, CDC supports the A Hora É Agora (AHA) Project, which aims to enhance the local response to the HIV epidemic in five Brazilian cities: Campo Grande, Curitiba, Florianópolis, Fortaleza, and Porto Alegre. </p> <p>The A Hora É Agora (AHA) Project strengthens health services in combined prevention, promotion of HIV testing, early detection of the virus and other sexually transmitted infections, and rapid initiation and adherence to treatment. In 2022, the Knowledge Translation Unit was created. This unit is responsible for developing the activities of the Practical Approach to Care Kit (PACK) program in Brazil. The PACK program provides guidance and training to health care providers in HIV focused health centers to take a whole-person approach by simplifying the process of providing primary care beyond HIV prevention and treatment. Additionally, CDC has gathered data that tracks the recency of HIV infections in individuals. This provides data used to improve modeling of advanced HIV infection and identify areas where infections are more likely to occur.</p> <p>CDC provides technical assistance to strengthen data collection for analysis and decision-making and works closely with the country's National Tuberculosis Program (NTP) on shared priorities for TB control. The NTP and CDC conducted a <a href="https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0287961" class="ce-selection tp-link-policy" rel="noreferrer" data-domain-ext="org">survey of catastrophic costs associated with TB<span class="visually-hidden sr-only" aria-label=" external icon" role="img"></span><span class="cdc-icon-external cdc-link-icon" aria-hidden="true" alt="external icon"></span></a> which showed the harsh impacts of TB on families.
