Danya's Work

Through its Africa Regional Office, Danya manages several projects in Ethiopia , Kenya , South Africa , Tanzania , and Zimbabwe . These projects showcase the company's commitment to increasing measurable impact through innovative technology applications.

• Through President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) funding, Danya worked with CDC's Global AIDS Partnership to develop and implement a TB/HIV communication response campaign. Danya assembled a team of international and local organizations to design and implement a multidimensional communication strategy and training program to accomplish the greatest impact. Preliminary analysis from media sources in Kenya shows that exposure to the campaign reached 7.5 million.
• The Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) needed to connect people and resources across agencies and around the world—rapidly and efficiently. The government challenged Danya to develop and deliver connectivity and the technical and social solutions needed to create the virtual collaborative community. Danya met the challenge to answer the needs of OGAC's global offices by using a Web-based extranet portal (PEPFAR.net) that provides the technology for information dissemination, online collaboration, and knowledge management.
