In April 2009 reprogramming, FY09 funds are being allocated to a TBD partner for technical assistance to

strengthen strategies for HIV prevention and care activities in rural areas. Specific activities may include:

-- An analysis/assessment of needs and opportunities for HIV prevention and care in rural areas. This might

include a review, in collaboration with ANADER, of ANADER's current model of "comprehensive" HIV

prevention, testing, and care (OVC and PLWHA) based on training their existing extension workers,

empowering rural teachers and establishing a village coordination committee; identification and comparison

of other models; and recommendations of strategies for the future. Strategies might include IGAs, food

production, stigma reduction, gender, etc. that may involve different approaches for coverage and reach in

rural areas of higher- versus lower-prevalence regions.

-- Development of a national coordinated communication strategy leveraging rural radio networks, listening

groups, and/or key spokespeople (such as religious leaders, traditional leaders, and male / female

community leaders) for HIV prevention education, CT mobilization, and PMTCT promotion in rural areas.

- Development of evidence-based programs involving HIV prevention education, risk awareness, and life

skills for out-of-school youth in rural and/or urban areas.

- Technical assistance for the Ministry of Education in developing harmonized strategy with the Ministry for

Technical Training, Ministry of Youth, and civil society to create opportunities for reinforcing and applying

life skills in HIV prevention, stigma reduction, and/or care in "service learning" and community-based

activities, particularly in leadership development and vulnerability reduction among vulnerable girls.

- Technical assistance to strengthen ANADER's strategic planning, evaluation and/or quality improvement

efforts.
