Abstract
Specifically, the team was asked to investigate two key issues: (1) review the efficacy of PEPFAR Haiti"s current approach to mitigate the impact of poor quality power on the operation of Antiretroviral (ARV) labs through the provision of battery banks and inverters; and (2) assess options for improving the facility wide power supply at several different types of health facilities. The assessment was conducted at the request of the United States Government President"s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program in Haiti and was supported by the USAID Office of Infrastructure and Engineering"s Energy Team.
