Detailed Mechanism Funding and Narrative

Details for Mechanism ID: 11780
Country/Region: Haiti
Year: 2009
Main Partner: U.S. Agency for International Development
Main Partner Program: NA
Organizational Type: Own Agency
Funding Agency: USAID
Total Funding: $575,000

Funding for Sexual Prevention: Other Sexual Prevention (HVOP): $375,000

SUMMARY: With FY 2009 funds, USAID's Central Contraceptive Logistics unit will continue to provide

condoms for both social marketing and free distribution that will complement the condom donations by

UNFPA to the MOH.

BACKGROUND: Data from the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) 2005 shows that condom use in

Haiti has decreased. Indeed, data indicates that while 98% of never married women are sexually active,

condom use among this group is barely 30%. In addition, condom use among youth (15-24) is even lower,

putting them at risk for both HIV and unwanted pregnancy. Based on this evidence, USAID will continue to

procure condoms. The only other source of non-commercial condoms in the country is UNFPA, which

donates 24,000,000 per year for the MOH Family Planning Program. A recent assessment carried out by

the USAID-supported Deliver Project ascertained that 38,580,000 condoms will be needed in 2008 to satisfy

the needs of the national family planning and AIDS prevention programs. PEPFAR funds will be used to

make up the gap between what UNFPA donates and the projected need. Through a recently established

condom distribution working group at the MOH, collaboration with the United National Population Fund

(UNFPA) and the MOH will be strengthened to ensure that sufficient condoms are available through social

marketing outlets, public sector and NGO hospitals and clinics and NGO community support and care

programs. In related activities, PEPFAR provides funding to PSI for social marketing and demand creation

among at-risk populations and to other NGOs that create demand and distribute no-logo condoms.

ACTIVITY: 2,001,000 Pante-brand male condoms will be provided to the TBD, an condom social marketing

lead in Haiti and 14,700,000 no-logo male condoms will be provided for distribution to PEFPAR-supported

public sector sites and NGOs. Additionally, 42,000 female condoms will be provided for both the social

marketing project and for free distribution, primarily among commercial sex workers, the primary population

group that uses female condoms regularly.

ACTIVITY UNCHANGED

SUMMARY: With FY 2009 funds, USAID's Central Contraceptive Logistics unit will continue to provide

condoms for both social marketing and free distribution that will complement the condom donations by

UNFPA to the MOH.

BACKGROUND: Data from the Behavior Surveillance Survey (BSS) 2006 shows that condom use among

the targeted at-risk populations in Haiti is still low. Indeed, the reported percentage of risky behavior

practiced in the past 12 months is as follows: 55% for female sex workers (SW), 70% for the group of men

having sex with men (MSM), 6% for men in uniform (Police), 5% for the migrants men, 3% for the male

street youth (YS). Percentages for migrant women and public vehicle drivers were less than 1%. Based

on this evidence, USAID will continue to procure condoms. A recent assessment carried out by the USAID-

supported Deliver Project ascertained that 38,580,000 condoms will be needed in 2008 to satisfy the needs

of the national family planning and AIDS prevention programs. UNFPA, The only other source of non-

commercial condoms in the country donates 24,000,000 per year for the MOH Family Planning Program.

PEPFAR funds will be used to make up the gap between what UNFPA donates and the projected need.

Some 14,700,000 no-logo male condoms will be provided for distribution to PEFPAR-supported public

sector sites and NGOs.

Through a recently established condom distribution working group at the MOH, collaboration with the United

National Population Fund (UNFPA) and the MOH will be strengthened to ensure that sufficient condoms are

available through social marketing outlets, public sector and NGO hospitals and clinics and NGO

community support and care programs. In related activities, PEPFAR provides funding to Population

Services International (PSI), the NGO implementing social marketing and demand creation among at-risk

populations and to other NGOs that create demand and distribute no-logo condoms.

2,001,000 Pante-brand male condoms and 42,000 female condoms will be provided for both the social

marketing project and for free distribution, primarily among commercial sex workers, the primary population

group that uses female condoms regularly.

ACTIVITY1: PEPFAR aims to provide some 4,000,000 no-logo male condoms for community based

prevention and awareness increase activities targeting especially the at-risk populations. No Pante-brand

male condoms will be financed as PSI current supply is estimated sufficient to cover the social marketing

program need. However, some 150,000 of female will be procured to assure uninterrupted availability at

the social marketing channel, for free distribution and at the commercial sex workers level.
