Datasets are also created for zone-level programme data inputs for efficient model testing.

Spectrum files

Base population

The base population and net migration were scaled in each file based on the proportions:

| Region | Proportion | |: --------|------------| | Northern | 13% | | Central | 43% | | Southern | 44% |

No other changes were made to demographic inputs. Fertility and non-HIV mortality rates were retained at national values.

Update 22 August 2024: Same proportion applied for HIV tests conducted in Shiny90.

Number on ART

The number on ART was scaled by the proportions:

| Region | Proportion | |: --------|------------| | Northern | 10% | | Central | 29% | | Southern | 61% |

The same proportions were used for adults on ART, children on ART, and children receiving cotrimoxazole.

Update 22 August 2024: Same proportion applied for ART initiations and HIV diagnoses in Shiny90.

PMTCT and ANC clients

PMTCT and ANC clients were scaled

| Region | Clients | Known Positive | ANC tested | Tested positive | PMTCT | |: --------|------------|----------------|------------|-----------------|-------| | Northern | 13% | 8% | 12% | 8% | 8% | | Central | 43% | 26% | 42% | 28% | 27% | | Southern | 44% | 66% | 46% | 64% | 65% |

EPP fitting

EPP was refit single region in each file.

For the 2024 Spectrum file: EPP by region was re-imported from the 2022 PJNZ files

Analysis was done using the Spectrum v5.87 and based from the 2019 Malawi Spectrum file.
