Data analytics & modelling
Applied mathematical and statistical modelling for public health decisions.
Capacity strengthening
Building local expertise in epidemiology and data science.
Open-source tools
Methods and software built to be reused, not locked away.
Policy & programme support
Evidence packaged for the people who set HIV programme strategy.
Impact in numbers.
2
Pilot districts with active surveillance data collection
7
Partner institutions across academia, government, and research

Turning data into decisions.
By combining routine health system data with targeted surveillance and mathematical modelling, the initiative gives programme managers a timelier, more accurate picture of where the epidemic is heading — not just where it has been.
Built to last beyond the project.
Capacity strengthening and open-source tooling mean the methods developed through Kuzama pa Kalondo can be maintained, adapted, and extended by Malawian institutions long after the initial funding period ends.
