One of the two USAID implementing mechanisms with primary responsibility for prevention and HIV technical capacity building ends September 30, 2010. This TBD implementing mechanism will focus on HIV technical assistance for prevention and care, targeting MARPs (IDUs, FSWs, MSM) and MARP PLHA. Implementation of activities will be in partnership with provincial and/or other local government partners as well as NGOs and community-based organizations. This implementing mechanism will also engage in partnerships with national and/or provincial and/or other Chinese institutions with the goal of building in-country ability to provide HIV technical assistance for MARP prevention and care at the program implementation level, so that longer term sustainability of the HIV response in China is also built.

Funding for Testing: HIV Testing and Counseling (HVCT): $0

Funding for Strategic Information (HVSI): $0

REDACTED

Through a TBD partner, USAID will undertake the first and second rounds of coverage and behavioral monitoring for FSW and MSM in Guangxi and Yunnan provinces. Based on lessons learned implementing this methodology, USAID will support the development of a manual to serve as a handbook for program implementers to replicate the methodology and tool in the future.

A standard module for measuring coverage and the quality of coverage will be incorporated into the CPP Model for FSW and MSM in Guangxi and Yunnan provinces. The TBD partner will develop and undertake a low cost survey to measure key information for FSW and MSM including prevention coverage, intensity of interventions and exposure (dose responses), intermediate outcomes or determinants for behavioral change, and key behaviors. A Technical Working Group (TWG) will be established among USAID partners to modify the methodology for each target population, oversee the intervention design, and ensure results are disseminated and used properly. In FY 2010, coverage and behavioral monitoring methods and questionnaires will be developed by modifying PSI's Tracking Surveys methodology (TRaC). Measuring coverage and intensity of coverage will be adapted from MEASURE Evaluation's coverage plus study. Probability sampling will be employed with approximately 500 persons per target population per site. Data will be analyzed to identify behavioral determinants, risks, needs, and exposure to service levels, and to demonstrate any significant changes over time.

In FY 2010, the first round of data collection will take place at four FSW sites (Gejiu, Kunming, Luzhai, and Mengzi) and three MSM sites (Gejiu-Mengzi-Kaiyuan, Kunming, and Nanning). In FY 2011, the second round of data collection will take place at all first-round sites except for FSW in Gejiu. The study results will be used for program planning and improvement. For the FSW CPP model, the results will be used to identify two "learning sites for excellence" that can serve as learning centers for replication and expansion of the model. By the end of FY 2011, a manual will be developed to serve as a handbook for program implementers.
