    Justification: DRC continues to face severe shortages of nurses and 
nurse-midwives for HIV prevention, care and treatment and essential 
health services, and this award is critical for HIV epidemic control 
and health security in DRC. The recipient is implementing similar 
efforts to strengthen the health workforce in other countries (Uganda, 
Ethiopia, and Zambia) with strong progress and outcomes.
