1. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES

This activity related to activities in ARV services, Adult Care and Support, Pediatric ARV Services, Pediatric

Care and Support.

2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

TBD Partner will continue to support the mobile teams that provide training in HIV treatment. This training

uses material developed and approved by the National AIDS and STD Control Program (NASCOP) and

provides trainings for health care workers in Nairobi, Central, and Eastern provinces although the focus is

on the heavily affected Nyanza province. The Adult antiretroviral treatment (ART) trainings will be

conducted using the new NASCOP curriculum on Integrated Management of Adolescent and Adult Illness

(IMAI). The initial Adult ART curriculum will still continue to be used for health workers from higher level

facilities depending on NASCOP's and MOH need's and on how soon the 2nd level advanced curriculum is

released. The same curricula will also be used to train health workers from the Department of Defense

(DOD) on IMAI and Adult ART in Nyanza and South Rift Valley. These activities will result in classroom and

practical training of 360 health care workers in antiretroviral (ARV) drug management. These will be part of

training on comprehensive care of people with HIV/AIDS and will incorporate components of follow up and

quality assurance at the sites where these trained health care workers are engaged. An additional 1,200

health care providers will receive continuing medical education (CME). TBD partner will support this activity

by maintaining two teams of specially trained trainers. Members of these training teams will also provide

patient care at supported sites. This on-site participation helps to maintain the clinical skills of the trainers,

ensures that the trainers are teaching from recent and relevant experience, and assist with meeting critical

staffing needs. Funds will support salaries for the trainers, office costs related to coordinating the trainings

and preparing and conducting the CME sessions, accommodation costs for the training participants, and

travel costs for participants and trainers

This activity has been previously supported through Mildmay International. The cooperative agreement with

Mildmay will end in mid 2009 and will be competed with COP 09 funds. By April 2008, two multidisciplinary

teams have provided ART classroom training to over 135 health care professionals and had reached over

1,200 health care workers through CME sessions addressing care of pediatric patients and management of

patients co-infected with TB and HIV. The teams have undergone trainings in teaching methodology as well

as advanced training in adult and pediatric HIV management.

3. OVERALL PROGRAM AREA

These activities will contribute to the results of expanded provision of a basic package of health services for

patients with HIV, improved integration of prevention and treatment services, and strengthened networks of

treatment. These activities will also increase the number of health care workers in Kenya who can provide

adult ART services.

4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES

This activity relates to care and ART services supported through other U.S. government funded partners in

Nyanza, Eastern, Nairobi, Central and South Rift provinces and Mildmay's home-based care activities. In

addition, through USAID funding Mildmay will also assist six Kenya Medical Training Colleges build their

capacity to design, develop, and deliver quality short courses on integrated adult and pediatric HIV care and

ART as well as incorporate ART and HIV care into their curricula.

5. POPULATIONS TARGETED

These activities directly target health care workers, and indirectly target people living with HIV/AIDS. The

geographic area where activities are focused is a high priority because of high rates of HIV (overall rates of

HIV in Nyanza Province are the highest in Kenya).

6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED

This activity addresses legislative issues related to stigma and discrimination through training activities.

7. EMPHASIS AREAS

This activity includes major emphasis on training and minor emphases on human resources, local

organization capacity development, quality assurance, and supportive supervision.

ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM COP 2008:

1. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES

This activity related to activities in ARV services (#) and Palliative Care: Basic Health Care and Support (#).

2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

TBD Partner will continue to support the mobile teams that provide training in HIV treatment. These training

teams use materials developed and approved by the National AIDS and STD Control Program (NASCOP)

and are focused in the heavily affected Nyanza province. The demand for the pediatric trainings remains

high, especially at lower level facilities. These trainings contribute towards an increased number of children

receiving care and antiretroviral treatment (ART) and a better quality of care being offered to HIV infected

children. These activities will result in classroom and practical training of 390 health care workers in

antiretroviral (ARV) drug management as part of a course on comprehensive care of people with HIV/AIDS.

This training will incorporate components of follow up and quality assurance at the sites where these trained

health care workers are engaged. An additional 1,200 health care providers will receive continuing medical

education (CME). TBD Partner will support this activity by maintaining two teams of specially trained

trainers. Members of these training teams will also provide patient care at supported sites. This on-site

participation helps to maintain the clinical skills of the trainers, ensures that the trainers are teaching from

recent and relevant experience, and assist with meeting critical staffing needs. Funds will support salaries

for the trainers, office costs related to coordinating the trainings and preparing and conducting the CME

sessions, accommodation costs for the training participants, and travel costs for participants and trainers.

This activity has been previously supported through Mildmay International. The cooperative agreement with

Mildmay will end in mid 2009 and will be competed with COP 09 funds. By April 2008 two multidisciplinary

teams have provided ART classroom training to over 667 health care professionals and had reached over

1,200 health care workers through CME sessions addressing care of pediatric patients and management of

patients co-infected with TB and HIV. The teams have undergone trainings in teaching methodology as well

as advanced training in adult and pediatric HIV management.
