Article Synopsis
- - The Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa (CARTA) supports university faculty in Africa to enhance their doctoral training through funding and seminars, aiming to improve both individual and institutional development.

Background: Despite increasing recognition that health-systems constraints are the fundamental barrier to attaining anti-retroviral therapy (ART) scale-up targets in Sub-Saharan Africa, current discourses are dominated by a focus on sustainability. Utilizing the health system dynamics framework, this study aimed to explore the interactions in health system components and their influence on the sustainability of ART scale-up implementation in Uganda.
Methods: This study entailed qualitative organizational case-studies within a two-phased mixed-methods sequential explanatory research design.
