The activities related to this program seek to improve the quality of life of PLWHA through the delivery of

different services at the community level. Since FY 07, PEPFAR has initiated a community based palliative

care program aiming at strengthening the link between the sites where clinical care is provided and the

community where the families of PLWHA live. This family oriented intervention responds to the need to

ensure a proper tracking of patients whose significant numbers were lost to follow up.

An RFA has been launched in FY08 for an integrated approach toward HIV/AIDS, Maternal and Child

Health, Family Planning and Tuberculosis. The TBD awarded will pursue the basic care and support

activities in PEPFAR that were conducted (by CRS, AERDO, Plan, World Vision) in the West, North East,

Artibonite, South, Grande Anse, Nippes, North West departments.

Activity 1: Training of Health Personnel

Nurses, Social workers, community health agents and accompagnateurs will be hired and trained. Point

persons attach to the TBD network will make the link with the sites in order to share information related to

the PLWHA. This personnel will assure that home visits are made to the PLWHA on a regular schedule so

appointments to the clinic are respected and referral are done in due time. Beside the index case, children,

pregnant women and any other adults in the house will be registered. The TBD network will also establish

strong link with the local PLWHA association.

Activity 2: Social Support

A variety of social support will be delivered through the Point de Délivrance des Services Communautaires

(PDSC/ Community services delivery site)) which plays the role of transit home for PLWHA arriving to

attend their appointments or returning home from long distances. This physical structure located in the

community will help reduce the barrier of distance which can translate in long hours of walk and also the

barrier of cost since transportation fees will be paid. Safe water product will be delivered at the PDSC as

well as condoms both interventions aiming at reducing water borne diseases in the household and access

to family planning services. Recreative activities and psychological support will also be available at the

PDSC.

Food support will be provided for families in need through Title II or World Food Program (WFP) assistance.

Malnourished adults and children identified will be referred to the sites for management (Food by

prescription)

Activity 3. Social Assistance

The TBD awarded will be responsible for making the link with institutions engaged in micro credit activities

so PLWHA families become less vulnerable to the economic hardship. The TBD awarded will also link with

NGOs receiving PEPFAR funds and involved in job creation such as IOM to facilitate access of PLWHA to

income generating activities.

By September 2010, the TBD awarded would expect 21500 PLWHA to have access to palliative care in 25

outlets and that 1000 persons would be trained.
