SECONDARY CROSS-CUTTING BUDGET ATTRIBUTIONS

This activity supports key cross-cutting attributions in human capacity development through its training

program for private sector health workers ($200,000).

1. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES

This activity is related to activities in the ARV Services (HTXS) program area.

2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

This activity aims to improve and standardize HIV treatment services in the private sector, and will leverage

private sector resources already available through the Goldstar Network implemented by Family Health

International (FHI) that started work in Kenya in FY2008. In COP 2009 period Goldstar scale up the delivery

of their clinical mentorship training for comprehensive management of HIV infection for adults, adolescents

and children to multidisciplinary mentors based in private sector health facilities. NASCOP's clinical

mentorship training package (including ART job aids, orientation packages and relevant health education

materials on ART, PMTCT, TB, STIs, FP, etc.) will be used by well-functioning private sector mentorship

teams for training carefully selected multi-disciplinary mentorship teams from 30 target health facilities.

Subsequently all facility-level mentors will be encouraged to regularly provide on-the-job orientation and

support to 200 health workers using a cascade on-the-job (OJT) approach already implemented by

JHPIEGO locally. This practical facility mentorship model will be introduced in all provinces while focusing

additional implementation support to Coast, Nairobi and Rift Valley provinces. FHI/Goldstar will continue to

participate in the MOH's Technical Working Group to ensure coordination of activities and compliance with

MOH guidelines for service delivery. Goldstar will also collaborate with local support groups to involve

people living with HIV/AIDS as part of the clinical team for comprehensive HIV care.

3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM

adults, adolescents and children through training of multidisciplinary private sector teams. A total of 200
