About CRS:
Catholic
Relief Services (CRS) is the official overseas relief and development

served people living in poverty and situations of vulnerability in over
100 countries since 1943. In Tanzania, CRS has served vulnerable
communities for over 50 years and is a leader in building the country’s
capacity to improve health and nutrition services for young children and
their caregivers.
FASTER (Faith-Based Action for Scaling up Testing and Treatment for the Epidemic Response) is
designed as a new component of the global FOCUS (Faith-based
Organization Capacity Strengthening for Universal HIV Services) project.
Funded by the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), FOCUS was
developed with the intent of building FBO network capacity, assisting
FBOs to contribute to HIV multi-sector planning for expanded service
delivery, and documenting successful approaches. Led by CRS, FOCUS
builds understanding of how to leverage the faith-based community’s
contributions at subnational and national levels, reinforcing mutual
responsibility and country-driven leadership.
FASTER takes
FOCUS’ objectives to the next level by creating an enabling environment
in four (4) countries where public health, civil society, the private
sector, and FBOs can accelerate normative pediatric HIV case finding,
testing, linkage to care and treatment, and adherence support by
strengthening and streamlining joint coordination and provision of
pediatric HIV service delivery.
