This project supports CAR PEPFAR strategy objectives 1 and 2.

The goal of the USAID Dialogue on HIV and TB Project is to increase access to HIV and TB prevention and treatment services among most at risk populations (MARPs) through outreach, TA, and training. The project implements outreach programs in 16 sites in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan focusing mainly on people who inject drugs and sex workers, people living with HIV/AIDS, men who have sex with men and migrants. Dialogue consortium member, AIDS Foundation East-West, will target prisoners in eight sites in the three countries. The project will fill the gap between services through direct outreach to MARPs, providing referrals to services throughout the HIV continuum of care, and escorting clients to needed services.

Gender will be addressed through targeted outreach activities, increasing equity in HIV activities, and addressing male norms and behaviors. Since this program is co-funded with TB funds, it will also address TB prevention, treatment and adherence.

During the last two years of the project, the project will reduce the number of sub-partners and key staff in the consortium to reduce program costs. The project will provide organizational capacity building to NGOs by training outreach workers and peer educators and through grants. By building organizational and financial management skills of NGOs, it is expected that they will be able to receive grants from other donors in the future. The project will advocate for innovative models such as multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) to be institutionalized into the national level program.

The project uses a rigorous monitoring and evaluation system which consists of on-going oversight and monitoring including financial audits and behavior change surveys.
