ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM COP 2008

1. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES

This activity relates to activities in Pediatrics treatment, Adult care and support, Pediatrics care and support,

TB/HIV, and Orphans and Vulnerable Children.

2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

Columbia University's International Centre for AIDS Care and Treatment Program (CU-ICAP) will continue

to support implementation and expansion of a successful HIV treatment program in Central Province.

Through the Track 1 funding, CU- ICAP will support HIV treatment activities for approximately 13,000

patients (including 1,300 children) in 30 sites in Central Province. These patients are in addition to the 2,500

that will be supported by in-country funding for this partner. CU-ICAP will establish/enhance treatment

networks centered at the provincial hospital and large district hospitals. In addition, CU-ICAP will extend a

collaborative relationship with Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) to develop

quality assurance capacity on all levels (laboratory, pharmacy, and clinical management), guide the

planning for effective care and treatment programs, and using their experience to help develop strategic

planning activities. CU-ICAP will work closely with the Central Provincial ART Officer (PARTO) in the

planning of provider meetings, technical assistance, and clinician trainings. Funds will be used to support

staffing, renovations, clinical and laboratory equipment and supplies, drugs for the prevention and treatment

of opportunistic infections, and supportive supervision and advanced training for 120 health care workers in

HIV care.

3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA

These activities will contribute to the expansion of antiretroviral (ARV) treatment for clinically qualified HIV-

positive patients at health care facilities. CU-ICAP will strengthen human resource capacity to deliver adult

and pediatric ARV treatment, tighten linkages between prevention, care, and treatment activities, and

strengthen referral networks for antiretroviral treatment (ART) provision and other HIV/AIDS services.

4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES

The overall program activity links closely to non-ART and TB/HIV services and ARV treatment services that

are supported by Columbia University through in-country funding, as well as ART services coordinated by

and supported through the National AIDS and STD Control Program (NASCOP). Specific facilities have also

developed linkages. For example Nyeri District Hospital, which is supported by Columbia University, has

established treatment referral linkages with Nazareth Hospital, which is supported by Catholic Relief

Services.

5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED

These activities target people (adults, children, infants) living with HIV/AIDS. Treatment services for children

with HIV are being established or expanded at all sites. Public health care providers, including doctors,

nurses, pharmacists, and laboratory workers are targeted for increased training related to HIV care and

treatment. The program will also continue to support treatment for HIV-infected students at JKUAT. These

youth are among an important focus population that was identified in Kenya's 5-year strategic plan for

Emergency Plan Implementation.

6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED

This activity addresses legislative issues related to stigma and discrimination through community

sensitization activities.

7. EMPHASIS AREAS

This activity includes minor emphases in commodity procurement, human resources, development of

networks/linkages/referral systems, local organization capacity development, quality assurance and

supportive supervision, strategic information and training.
