Graphic of building blocks

Here’s a conceptual breakdown of how the graphic could be designed to show the building blocks/roadmap for the integration of ncd management into hiv service delivery across southern africa:

graphic title:
"new framework/proposed roadmap for integrating ncd management into hiv services in southern africa"

layout:
central flow diagram or circular framework representing the interconnected pillars. These will be placed in a circle or flow with arrows indicating progression and interdependence.
Visual Elements:
Center of the Graphic:

Title/Label: "Integrated Healthcare Model for HIV and NCDs"
Core Message: "Building an Efficient, Sustainable, and Integrated Healthcare System in Southern Africa"
An icon of a healthcare network or interconnected system can be used in the middle to symbolize the integrated care approach.

Arrows/Flow:
Use arrows or lines connecting the five pillars to the central concept, indicating their interconnectedness and how each pillar supports the others for an integrated approach.

Arrows should also be included within each pillar to highlight progression, showing the relationship between action steps and desired outcomes.

Color Scheme:
Pillars: Use distinct colors for each pillar (e.g., Governance - Blue, Service Delivery - Green, Financing - Orange, Data Systems - Purple, Workforce - Red).
Background: A light, neutral color to ensure the pillars stand out.
Icons: Simple, recognizable icons in each section for clarity.
