PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
SIERRA LEONE, LIBERIA, & GUINEA
SEPTEMBER 2016
www.advancingpartners.org
A
dvancing Partners & Communities is a United States
Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded
project implemented by JSI Research & Training Institute,
Inc. and partner FHI 360. The project supports community
programs to improve the overall health of individuals and
communities and strengthen health-related indicators.
Advancing Partners & Communities provides global leadership
for community health systems and community-based
programing; manages small and medium grants; and builds the
capacity of organizations to manage and implement effective
programs through direct technical assistance.
Advancing Partners & Communities has received funding
from USAID’s Ebola Response and Preparedness funds, which
were authorized by Congress in December 2014 to mitigate
the Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in West Africa. The
Ebola Transmission Prevention and Survivor Services Program
(ETP & SS) launched in July 2016 and is operating under the
umbrella of priorities set by USAID’s Global Health Ebola Team.
The program works with ministries of health and
nongovernmental organizations in regions of Sierra Leone,
Liberia, and Guinea that are most affected by the Ebola outbreak.
In recent months, the viral persistence of Ebola in survivors has
become a new concern. The virus has been found in the eyes,
breast milk, spinal column, semen, and other bodily fluids of
survivors. More research is needed to determine how long Ebola
will be present in a survivor, how large a health risk survivors are
to their families and/or communities, potential triggers for Ebola
to resurface in a survivor, and steps to mitigate further
transmission.
In addition to the physical remnants of the Ebola virus, survivors
experience psychological consequences, such as depression and
suicidality, which require specialized medical attention. They also
have difficulty accessing routine and specialized medical services,
because health care providers lack experience treating sequelae
and complications of Ebola, and are often reluctant to provide
services because of the risk of transmission. Furthermore, much

of the specialty health care required by survivors—such as
neurology, psychiatry, and ophthalmology—is not available in
West Africa.
In response, the ETP & SS program will work with the
Governments of Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea and other
stakeholders to prevent further EVD transmission and to reduce
the risk of resurgence from Ebola viral persistence in survivors;
and to reduce stigma and other barriers that keep survivors from
accessing health care services. Due to the time-sensitive nature
of the work, Advancing Partners & Communities will work with
in-country partners to sub-grant as appropriate. The program will
also convene stakeholders from each country to discuss research
findings and best practices related to EVD transmission and
prevention strategies.
In addition, the ETP & SS
programs will develop and
implement guidelines and
tools for Ebola transmission
prevention and provision of
critical survivor services; train
health care providers, traditional
and local government leaders,
survivor associations and
networks, survivor advocates, and
survivors themselves; renovate
health facilities in high-volume
districts, including provision of specialty care equipment; conduct
supportive supervision and mentoring for health care workers in
high-volume districts; and collect and transport semen samples
for testing.
