HEARD

Health Economics and HIV/AIDS Research Division

HEARD conducts applied research and runs development interventions aimed at mobilising evidence for impact in health and HIV in the SADC and east Africa region. HEARD has been situated since 1998 at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban, South Africa and collaborates with a range of institutional and individual partners spanning the globe.

HEARD supports UNAIDS in Africa, the SADC Secretariat and Parliamentary Forum and other African leadership in responding to issues of health and HIV.

In recognition of HEARD’s work in the field of HIV/AIDS, the University of KwaZulu-Natal, HEARD and UNAIDS signed an agreement in July 2004 which accorded HEARD the status of a UNAIDS Collaborating Centre. A Collaborating Centre is a non-UN entity that has been designated by the UNAIDS Secretariat to carry out specific activities in priority areas of the Secretariat, or the response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
