HDA is excited to announce that it has joined the Mott MacDonald Group (www.mottmac.com), a uniquely diverse global management, development and engineering consultancy. Within Mott MacDonald, HDA will be joining the International Health Division, which also includes the well established health care consultancy HLSP (www.hlsp.org). HLSP and HDA have partnered over the years and are currently working together on the DFID-funded Strengthening South Africa's Revitalised Response to AIDS and Health (SARRAH) programme.

This move allows HDA to expand our work in sub-Saharan Africa. Linking with HLSP gives us access to additional technical expertise in areas such as health systems strengthening, reproductive health, aid effectiveness and capacity development. Mott MacDonald will provide us with management support and systems to improve the day to day management and quality control of our various projects.
