RATN is a consortium of training and capacity building institutions collaborating on a mission to strengthen the capacity of relevant individuals, organizations and other stakeholders to effectively respond to STIs/HIV/AIDS. Currently RATN has 30 institutions that are full members spread across 11 countries in ESA region.
The initiative for strengthening HIV and AIDS Training and Networking (INSTANT) programme is a new RATN initiative involving MIs submitting proposals on small innovative projects related to HIV training and capacity building as part on implementation of the RATN Strategic Plan (2009-2014).
The projects are aligned to the four RATN Strategic Plan programme areas namely: Training & Capacity Building, Knowledge & Information Management, Advocacy, Partnerships & networking and Research and Monitoring & Evaluation.
Since inception in September 2009, three rounds of application have been received.
RATN is now seeking a company/consultant to develop a web-based database system that will help manage these projects efficiently and effectively whilst at the same time act as a monitoring and evaluation system.
