The Mobile Task Team on the Impact of HIV/AIDS on Education (MTT) is a unique Pan African technical support network.  It is designed to help empower African ministries of education (MoEs) and their development partners to develop sector-wide HIV/AIDS policy and prioritized implementation plans to systemically manage and mitigate impact. MTT is linked to a West African task team (MTT/West) and is facilitating the development of a new East Africa regional team, MTT/East.

The MTT comprises a multi-disciplinary team of over 20 professionals located across southern Africa with expertise and experience in HIV/AIDS, education, policy development, system management, research, statistics, management information systems, modelling, health, economics, program design, monitoring and evaluation. The MTT provides country-level support, regional networks and advanced training; it has developed 22 training modules for this purpose in collaboration with the IIEP, to be made available at the end of 2005. 

The purpose of this MTT website is to help education sector stakeholders better understand the impact of AIDS on education and to provide access to information about the MTT approach to the mitigation and management of HIV/AIDS impact on education systems.   It includes details of MTT country activities and outputs and documents this experience.   It also provides access to MTT tools, templates and publications. Read more about MTT here or download MTT brochures or other corporate material here.
