Representative Projects
Partnerships with Government
At the national government level, Pangaea has partnered with the Clinton Foundation’s HIV/AIDS Initiative to assist the governments of Rwanda, South Africa, China, the Bahamas and Ukraine in the development and implementation of various aspects of their HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention programs.
IDU Populations
Some of the fasted growing HIV epidemics in the world are being fueled by injection drug use. Pangaea staff members have led efforts to bring appropriate care and treatment to IDU populations, focused on the development of complementary HIV and drug treatment programs, including methadone therapy. Pangaea is currently working with the Clinton Foundation on IDU programs in China and Ukraine.
Corporate Readiness
Pangaea provides consulting services to the private sector and is, for example, currently advising Chevron Corporation on the implementation of its global AIDS policy that is dedicated to providing all employees with appropriate access to treatment. Pangaea has assisted in the creation and delivery of employee training programs, as well as in the development of guidelines for HIV testing and treatment.
Capacity Building
In Uganda, Pangaea partnered with Pfizer Inc. Makerere University, and the Academic Alliance for AIDS Care and Prevention in Africa to create a regional HIV/AIDS training and research center and clinic, the Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI). Pangaea was responsible for managing capital construction, design of medical record systems, implementation of ART programs, establishing administrative support systems, and managing the implementation of programs before transferring ownership of the IDI to Makerere University.

Women and Girls
Pangaea is developing initiatives in Africa designed to more closely link HIV prevention and treatment activities, as well as developing special programs focused on women’s health. These programs also address the social and economic factors which increase HIV vulnerability, such as gender-based violence and inequities in educational and economic opportunities for girls and women.

Global Health Technology
Pangaea has several initiatives underway that are focused on integrating communication and data collection technology with HIV and TB treatment and prevention programs, including a collaborative agreement with InSTEDD to advance the utilization of electronic tools in the field of public health in order to improve the quality and effectiveness of field surveillance, disease detection, disease prevention, and to support sustainable programmatic responses to public health problems. Through this partnership, Pangaea is currently supporting the Cambodian Ministry of Health in the development and deployment of a medical appointment reminder system through mobile technology.
