The collective ability of the Humana People to People network to learn, innovate, and adapt to the needs of people affected by TB has been central in our response to the evolving challenges of TB prevention, care, and support. Our TB programmes draw on decades of experience at the forefront of community-based HIV responses, allowing us to integrate strategies across both diseases and deliver people-centred, evidence-informed solutions.
I am a Senior Partnership Officer at ADPP Mozambique and have been with the organisation for 27 years. During this time, I have witnessed and contributed to ADPP Mozambique’s remarkable growth, expanding its presence across all provinces in education, agriculture, environment, and health.
For nearly 20 years, I have led resource mobilisation efforts, particularly for health-related projects, building strong partnerships with government institutions, international and local organisations, and partners from many countries.
My earlier background as a teacher and school headmaster has profoundly shaped my passion for investing in people’s well-being and development. In my work with resource mobilisation, this passion translates into designing, negotiating, and developing project proposals grounded in a “people-to-people” approach, building the capacity of individuals and communities with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to drive their own development and improve their quality of life
Over the years, this simple yet transformative approach has led to tangible results across ADPP Mozambique’s projects, including reduced TB-related deaths, greater viral load suppression among people living with HIV, and lower rates of malnutrition.
Ultimately, we all share one planet and have a collective responsibility to care for all living beings, so everyone can live with dignity, free from hunger and poverty, and fulfil their potential for a productive life while contributing to a healthy world.
