    The INTEGRATE Project aims to enhance the global HIV response by integrating HIV prevention, care, and treatment services into existing health systems and primary care platforms from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2030. This initiative will provide essential financial and technical assistance to sustain HIV epidemic control and improve pandemic preparedness. It focuses on three main results: improved integration of health services, enhanced health system governance for integrated HIV services, and the bolstering of public health systems to respond to emerging threats. Environmental compliance is a key component, evaluated through an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) that categorizes activities based on potential environmental impact, applying Categorical Exclusions and Negative Determinations with conditions. The project has identified moderate climate risks and emphasizes mitigation strategies to address climate-related challenges. Conditions for implementation include thorough compliance with environmental regulations, proper waste management, and ensuring project activities do not adversely impact endangered species. Overall, INTEGRATE presents an integrated approach to health service delivery that aims to enhance resilience against health threats while adhering to USAID’s environmental guidelines.
