IHBP is a 3-year $32m integrated health project launched in October 2010 with PEPFAR and non-PEFAR funding, and implemented at national level and in Uttar Pradesh (UP). IHBP strengthens capacity of national GOI agencies and their state counterparts to design, deliver and evaluate behavior change communication (BCC) programs on a range of health issues. For HIV, IHBP works with NACO and the UP State AIDS Control Society (UPSACS) to strengthen institutional capacity to promote behavior changes to prevent HIV transmission and reduce stigma and discrimination through mid-media and interpersonal communication (IPC). IHBP aligns with PEPFAR/India’s Strategy goals 1 (improved access to quality services), 3 (building on country leadership and commitment), and 4 (health systems strengthening).

IHBP provides technical assistance (TA) to NACO and UPSACS via collaborative mentoring from project staff in planning, implementing and evaluating BCC campaigns, development of modules and materials, training of trainers, media planning and communications M&E. GOI will cover costs for all systems improvement actions, cascade training of health providers and field workers, mass production of communication materials, airing of media campaigns, and various campaign evaluations. Advocacy efforts will be undertaken to ensure that follow-up training and communication activities will be included in the government’s annual Project Implementation Plans.

In FY12, IHBP will conduct baseline and endpoint Knowledge-Attitudes-Practices studies in districts where BCC campaigns for truckers and migrants are implemented; process evaluation to determine changes in quality of GOI BCC planning; monitoring and evaluation; quality monitoring of cascade training and follow-up after-training.
