Pakachere Institute of Health and Development Communications (IHDC) and FHI 360 have been partners since 2015, working to expand access to HIV services among key populations in Malawi. In 2019, Pakachere began receiving direct funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development. Since then, the organizations have continued to partner and FHI 360 has supported Pakachere IHDC as it grows. 

In this conversation, Amita Mehrotra and David Chilongozi (of FHI 360’s Meeting Targets and Achieving Epidemic Control, or EpiC, project) and Simon Sikwese and Grace Kumwenda (of Pakachere IHDC) discuss the partnership and explore the importance of locally led development.
