USG support to the Ministry of Education (MEN) aims to help reduce the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in schools, through prevention interventions targeting small groups. Proposed activities will use approaches for those infected and/or affected by HIV/AIDS that are evidence-based and meet minimum standards with a view to provide services to 360,500 individuals, provide psychosocial care, nutritional support, and/or schooling to 1,250 PLWHIV, as well as school-based assistance to 40,000 OVC. When identified, eligible cases will be referred to clinical or other services that fall outside of the priority areas of this activity.

During FY 2012, the MEN plans to strengthen the quality, supervision and evaluation of prevention and care activities in order to develop students decision-making skills to resist pressures and to enable teachers and other Ministry staff to adopt/model responsible behaviors. The projects objectives are to expand the systematic implementation of life skills education, provide coordination for OVC services at school to help them graduate and continue integration of appropriate OVC training modules in the primary school teacher training center (CAFOP) curriculum. The MEN will continue to support teachers to build their capacities in education, outreach and referral services for OVC and their families. A committe will be formed to continue these efforts and document results achieved by the end of the PEPFAR-supported project.
