Diabetes UK Mozambique Twinning Project
In 2007 Diabetes UK launched its Twinning Project with Mozambique. The IIF has been asked to manage this project in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Associação Moçambicana dos Diabéticos (AMODIA, Association of Mozambican Diabetics).
The development of this project was based on the findings from the RAPIA in 2003 and had as its aims to:
1. Support for the training of trainers programme initiated by the Ministry of Health
2. Further training of healthcare workers through different options e.g. sending them to Tanzania, training organised in Mozambique by someone external, specialised training.
3. Diabetes UK literature made available to AMODIA with appropriate adaptation and translation
4. Organisation of World Diabetes Day events
5. Advocacy and policy support to Dr. Carla Silva-Matos by David Beran
6. Develop core group of people involved in diabetes. This should include people from the Ministry of Health, Clinicians and people with diabetes.
7. Development of AMODIA
8. Long term research programmes in Mozambique in Health Services and Basic Science
This project ran from 2007-2009 with direct IIF support and continues today through the work of the Ministry of Health and AMODIA. The results of the first year of work are presented in the slideshow below as are the reports from 2007-2009.
