    Kisumu County Government-Department of Health Service is in a 
unique position to conduct this work as the 2010 Kenyan constitution 
prescribed roles for the county governments, whereby each county is 
responsible for provision of health care services to its residents. 
Accordingly, in this devolution of health service delivery to the 
county level, Kisumu County Department of Health Service has the sole 
mandate to manage the public health response to HIV/AIDS in the county. 
Another county government is not allowed to implement services within 
Kisumu County.
    Servi[ccedil]os Provincial de Sa[uacute]de Gaza is in a unique 
position to conduct this work given that the Servi[ccedil]os Provincial 
de Sa[uacute]de in Mozambique are government organizations established 
by law and mandated to plan, coordinate, and supervise all health-
related activities at the tertiary and secondary level, including HIV/
AIDS activities, within their provincial jurisdiction. The 
Servi[ccedil]os Provincial de Sa[uacute]de is the Provincial Agency of 
the State Apparatus, which according to the principles, objectives, and 
tasks defined by the Government of Mozambique directs and ensures the 
execution of health activities at the provincial level.
    Servi[ccedil]os Provincial de Saude Nampula is in a unique position 
to conduct this work as it is the dedicated government entity delegated 
by Mozambican Government which oversees the health portfolio including 
HIV and TB services in the province of Nampula. In Mozambique, the 
governmental public health infrastructure is organized into the central 
or national entity (Ministry of Health or the Provincial Health 
Directorates) that implement activities at the primary healthcare 
level, and the Provincial Health Service (Servi[ccedil]os Provincial de 
Saude), that lead all health services within the province.
    MHSA is in a unique position to conduct this work, as it is 
responsible for administrating government-provided health services and 
implementing national government policies on health care and public 
health in Senegal. The MHSA is the only entity authorized by the 
government of Senegal to provide and manage comprehensive health 
services within the country in accordance with approved national 
policies.
