Dr. Ngonidzashe Madidi

I am a Medical Doctor and Public Health Practitioner with over a decade of experience working in public health and medicine, especially in HIV prevention, care, treatment, and Sexual, Reproductive health and rights programming. I currently serve as the Regional Chief of Party for the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative's USAID-funded USD 200 Million CoAg and head of the Africa Regional Office. I previously worked for PSI Zimbabwe, where I served in three distinct roles. I was the Deputy Country Representative in charge of all clinical Programs, Deputy Chief of Party for a USD 95 Million four-year USAID funded Cooperative Agreement aptly named Going the Last Mile for HIV Control. The Project Lead for a USD 21,2 million four-year Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation supported Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision grant. Before that, I served as the Deputy Chief of Party for a USD57 Million USAID-funded Cooperative Agreement named Strengthening Private Sector Services for HIV (SPSS). Before work with PSI, I worked as the Senior Technical Advisor for Clinton Health Access Initiative in Zimbabwe, overseeing the following programs: Malaria Elimination, Access to HIV/AIDS medicines, Paediatric AIDS Male Circumcision, and TB. I complimented the country leadership and represented the organization in liaising with local government partners, global teams, and donors. I have also worked as the Director for the Male Circumcision and Malaria programs for PSI. I spearheaded the development of Male Circumcision roll-out plans and led implementation with The Government of Zimbabwe and other implementing partners. I provided technical assistance in training, service delivery, supervision, evaluation of services, quality assurance, and quality improvement. Before transitioning out of Government services, I worked as a District Medical Officer for the Ministry of Health. I planned and coordinated activities to promote public health in Matabeleland North province.
