Healthy Outcomes through Prevention Education project (HOPE) plans to carry out school and community-based HIV/AIDS prevention activities in approximately 400 primary and secondary schools in the informal urban settlements (slums) within Nairobi Province and its surrounding areas. The target population includes boys and girls aged 10-18 and their families. The project will also support the Ministry of Education to revise the Education Sector Policy on HIV/AIDS and equip personnel in the MOE and the 47 new County Offices for its effective implementation. The overall goal of the project is to improve students' HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes and practices through evidence-based small group peer, school and community-based interventions. This will be achieved through peer-to-peer support and mentoring, equipping schools with the capacity to provide HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, classroom instruction and extracurricular activities, and parents and community members promoting healthy living through increased school involvement. The intervention will pull elements from the "Families Matter" program. Particular emphasis will be placed on gender issues, promoting healthy gender attitudes and practices, discouraging harmful male norms, and addressing the effect of gender disparity on the spread of HIV/AIDS. An M&E component will be put in place to ensure that the training experiences translate into learner outcomes in the classroom and ultimately a decrease in HIV transmission, and quality assurance and standard offices will monitor the process of teaching and learning. This project will support the national prevention policies on HIV and AIDS. This activity supports GHI/LLC and is completely funded through pipeline funds in this budget cycle.
