As a community-based prevention project, Kapelako targeted the general population and youth with four objectives that were designed drawing on principles of the Global Health Initiative (GHI) and the priorities outlined in Angolas Partnership Framework, which prioritize prevention and the strengthening of internal systems thru capacity building. After extremely slow start-up, difficulties in filling key personnel positions, and questionable performance, the Kapelako project was externally assessed in June 2011, 9 months after the award was signed. A continued failure to present an acceptable work plan led the AO in November 2011 to inform WL that they would be getting no further obligations into the Kapelako agreement, and that when funds were expended the agreement would end. The intention is to shift some of the activities originally planned under the Kapelako project (World Learning is prime) to the Building Local Capacity (BLC) regional project through RHAP (MSH is prime) for a one year period. To facilitate the transition, a reduced scope of work was assigned to WL, which focused specifically on their continuing to provide sub-award management to Angolan CSOs that implement HIV prevention programs targeted to the general population. Specific tasks include continued organizational development and mentoring of these organizations using their existing technical approach, and to reissue successful sub-awards to support the five CSO to help ensure the continuity of the CSO project implementation during this transition period.
