This activity is linked to: HBHC 9131; HKID 9147; AB 9112; HTXS 9109 and OHPS 9212.

All AED activities, under the Capable Partners Program (CAP), interlink with each other for the overall purpose of building capacity of Mozambican and other NGO/CBO/FBOs to create competent, results-oriented organizations eligible to compete for USG and other funding to mitigate the impact of HIV.

In COP07, AED has responsibilities for several PEPFAR program areas, representing a major scale-up of AED's current program in NGO capacity building and grants management. AED will continue to work with Mozambican networks and organizations that provide services to OVC, home based care clients, Youth in AB focused Prevention programs, PLWHA groups and association members which together have national reach. FY07 represents year 2 of a planned 3 year activity that began with FY 06 funding. Special activities will be focused in Sofala and Zambezia Provinces.

This funding will allow AED to continue its technical support to small, grass roots organizations working in AB but not yet eligible to receive direct USG funding. This support will continue to strengthen the technical and organizational capacity of these nascent NGO/CBO/FBOs to provide better AB behavior change programs to youth groups, faith based associations, school based programs, and community groups that currently receive PEPFAR AB support. Support to to USG's most important indigenous partner, the Foundation for Community Development (FDC), will be emphasized. Capacity Building components of this activity include:

(1) ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AED will continue to strengthen the operational and technical capacity of local networks, umbrellas and organizations to plan, coordinate, implement and monitor their community based AB behavior change programs. AED will foster strong linkages between these groups and district/provincial NAC and MOH representatives to create supportive environments advocating for individual and normative behavior change. AED will utilize the CAP method of an 18-month training program for organizations. Skills covered include institutional strengthening, advocacy, monitoring and evaluation.

(2) GRANTS MANAGEMENT This funding will allow AED to expand on its FY06 small grants pilot with International Relief and Development (IRD). AED, will provide a grants management service to selected organizations, partly as a demonstration model to assist the organizations in learning better management practices and partly as a support to USG which finds that direct granting to multiple small but strategic national NGOs difficult to manage. Organizations benefiting from the grants management activity will be strengthened and will gain the fiscal experience to acquire smaller HIV funding from NAC and other sources.

(3) CAPACITY BUILDING FOR FOUNDATION FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (FDC) FDC provides the most Mozambican response to HIV, directly managing several programs and sub-granting to dozens of local, CBOs working in AB. In FY07, FDC will receive more AB funding than any other partner. A portion of this activity's funding will directly provide AED's technical and organizational support to FDC's AB programs and its AB sub-partners' programs in Maputo, Gaza, Inhambane and Nampula provinces. This includes a tailor-made program of organizational development and grants management specific to FDC's capacity as the largest indigenous, grant making organization in the country. Through this activity, AED is expected to support organizations to reach 300,000 individuals, 100,000 of whom will receive A messages only. In addition, over 300 peer educations, volunteers and activitas will be trained to promote HIV/AIDS prevention through abstinence or being faithful.

Plus-up/Reprogramming: AED will build capacity of and provide subagreements to organizations which target MARP such as Get Jobs (CSW) and the National Network against Drugs (drug users). Additionally, C&OP funding allows AED to provide subagreements to organizations which provide the broad range of sexual transmission prevention activities, effectively leveraging AB funding with C&OP resources.

Original COP: This activity is related to: HBHC 9131; HKID 9147; AB 9135; HXTS 9109; and OHPS 9212

This activity has several components and COP07 funding represents a major scale-up of AED's current program in NGO capacity building and grants management. AED will continue to work with Mozambican networks and organizations that provide services to OVC, home based care clients, PLWHA groups and association members which together have national reach. FY07 represents year 2 of a planned 3 year activity that began with FY 05 funding. Special activities under COP07 will be focused in Sofala and Zambezia Provinces. Additionally, the Foundation for Community Development will become a major client of AED. AED capacity building for FDC will focus on financial and management systems support assistance in order to meet USAID and other donor requirements.

AED's major effort under COP07 will be to continue to strengthen the capacity of nascent 1) networks and associations (such as MONASO, Rensida, CORUM, etc.) as well as 2) national and local organizations for the ultimate purpose of eventually becoming self sufficient and able to acquire funding from sources other than PEPFAR. This will include institutional strengthening as well as strengthening activities in program planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting. All organizations will be part of the integrated health network system which focuses geographically on the catchment areas of USG-supported clinical care and ARV treatment sites. Training for the all networks and non-governmental organizations will focus on increasing their abilities to solicit, receive and account for funds, sub-granting to member organizations and reporting results to donors. Capacity building efforts will be tied, where appropriate, to direct service delivery in OVC and HBC and to AB and C&OP activities. During COP07 it is expected that direct targets of 1,000 reached and 100 trained will be achieved, but virtually no indirect targets. Indirect targets will be expected in Year 3.

In addition to capacity building, AED will also provide a grants management service to selected organizations, partly as a demonstration model to assist the NGO in learning better management practices and partly as a support to USG where they find granting to small but strategic national NGO impossible to grant directly.

C&OP funding should be used in the AED program to assist organizations carrying out activities in this programatic area.

This activity is related to HKID 9147, HVAB 9135, HXTS 9109, and C&OP 9154.

All AED activities interlink with each other for the overall purpose of building capacity of local NGO/CBO/FBO to stand on their own and for grants management under the Capable Partners Program (CAP); some activities have specific components assigned to it. In COP07, AED has responsibilities for several components which represent a major scale-up of AED current program in NGO capacity building and grants management. AED will continue to work with Mozambican networks and organizations that provide services to OVC, home based care clients, PLWHA groups and association members which together have national reach. (see below for further details) FY07 represents year 2 of a planned 3 year activity that began with FY 06 funding. Special activities will be focused in Sofala and Zambezia Provinces.

Through this palliative care activity , AED will continue to work with Mozambican networks and organizations that provide home based pallative care and together have national reach. This support will continue to strengthen the capacity of these nascent Mozambican support networks as well as national organizations and provide additional support to their members to deliver essential services to home based palliative care, focusing geographically on the catchment areas of USG-support clinical care and ARV treatment sites. In FY07, NGOs will be required to link directly with clinics, with at least 50% of their HBC clients who are also receiving clinical palliative care. Stronger monitoring and evaluation procedures will be developed to assist HBC volunteers provide more effective services and report more efficiently. In another related activity with SAVE/HACI, HBC volunteers will receive regular psychosocial training in order to better support for their clients and to better understand their own reactions to working with the terminally ill.

In FY07, AED is scheduled to rapidly gear up their 06 activities, which have started rather slowly. Phase I , Year 1 began in March 2006 (with early FY06 funding), AED sub-granted with International Relief and Development (IRD) to conduct assessments of some of the networks and associations especially at national level and in Sofala province. In addition, IRD piloted a program in Inhambane Province to provide small sub-grants to CBOs, adapt assessment tools for use with community groups and develop a monitoring system to assist community groups to manage their program with the small grants they received.

AED only recently received the rest of their FY06 funding (Phase II) and are in the process of gearing up their presence in Mozambique, selecting staff, assessing and selecting network NGO partners, etc. Based on It is expected that AED work will rapidly escalate based on their pilot efforts under Phase I.

AED's major effort under COP07 will be to continue to strengthen the capacity of nascent 1) networks and associations (such as MONASO, Rensida, CORUM, etc.) as well as 2) national and local organizations for the ultimate purpose of eventually becoming self sufficient and able to acquire funding from sources other than PEPFAR. This will include institutional strengthening as well as strengthening activities in programmatic planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting. All organizations will be part of the integrated health network system which focuses geographically on the catchment areas of USG-supported clinical care and ARV treatment sites. Training for the all networks and non-governmental organizations will focus on increasing their abilities to solicit, receive and account for funds, sub-granting to member organizations and reporting results to donors. Additionally, the Foundation for Community Development will become a major client of AED. AED capacity building for FDC will focus on financial and management systems support assistance in order to meet USAID and other donors requirements. Capacity building efforts will be tied, where appropriate, to direct service delivery in OVC and HBC and to activities and services within the AB and C&OP program areas. During COP07 it is expected that direct targets will be achieved, but virtually no indirect targets. (See below) Indirect targets will be expected in Year 3.

In addition to capacity building, AED will also provide a grants management service to selected organizations, partly as a demonstration model to assist the NGO in learning better management practices and partly as a support to USG where they find granting to small but strategic national NGO impossible to grant directly.

AED will work with ANEMO, professional association of nurses, to strength their

institutional capacity in two areas: 1) the Training of Trainers section to be able to provide training services in a variety of clinic related areas and 2) expansion of the service delivery section. Under a sub-grant, ANEMO will be able to maintain their Master Trainers duties and responsibilities to continue to train trainers for improved HBC. Refresher courses will be developed by MOH for the Master Trainers to roll out. In addition, OI and STI trainings can be provided by these same Master Trainers who can train clinical staff as well as home-based care providers. In collaboration with other activities, ANEMO will be able to develop their professional association responsibilities.

Through yet another related activity USAID_HTXS_9109, ANEMO will be involved in treatment adherence for ARV and TB. ANEMO will be assisted to develop mechanisms and curriculum for training and hiring retired and unemployed treatment adherence care workers (TACW). The Master Trainers will expand their expertise into treatment adherence and train and supervise the TACWs who will be based at clinic sites, and will refer ART patients to community based care providers for continued support, follow-up and referrals. This activity is expected to keep clients in the clinical system by monitoring their adherence and referring any complications identified.

Lastly, AED will continue to provide strengthening and capacity building of NGOs/CBOs/FBOs to improve services to OVC and Home-based Care clients. While clients directly reached under this joint activity is relatively small (1,500 HBC and 4,000 OVC), it is anticipated that with strengthened institutional and programmatic capacities, rapid roll-out of services to additional clients will occur in the out years.

Through this package of activities, 35 non-governmental organizations will receive institutional capacity building and 175 individuals trained in institutional capacity and in community mobilization, and who take an important leadership role in care and treatment. At least one individual from each of the 35 organizations will also be trained in reduction of stigma and discrimination.

AED will continue to work with Mozambican networks and organizations that provide home based palliative care and together have national reach. This support will continue to strengthen the capacity of these nascent Mozambican support networks as well as national organizations and provide additional support to their members to deliver 6 essential services to OVC, focusing geographically on the catchment areas of USG-support clinical care and ARV treatment sites. In FY07, NGOs will be required to link directly with clinics, with at least 50% of their HBC clients who are also receiving clinical palliative care. Stronger monitoring and evaluation procedures will be developed to assist OVC volunteers providing more effective services and reporting more efficiently. In another related activity with SAVE/HACI, OVC volunteers will receive regular psychosocial training in order to better support for their clients and to better understand their own reactions to working with very needy children.

While clients directly reached under this joint activity is relative small (4,000 OVC and 260 individual trained), it is anticipated that with strengthened institutional and programmatic capacities, rapid roll-out of services to additional clients will occur in the out years.

In addition to capacity building, AED will also provide a grants management service to selected organizations, partly as a demonstration model to assist the NGO in learning

better management practices and partly as a support to USG where they find granting to small but strategic national NGOs difficult to grant directly.

AED will also strengthen NGO that provide services for AB and OVC. Many small NGOs and faith-based organizations are providing a variety of AB messages to selected community audiences, e.g. churches, schools, etc. Most of these organizations are not eligible to receive direct funding from USG, but could be strengthened to acquire funding from NAC and other sources. AED, along with activity AB # will provide a major effort in working with NGOs/CBOs/FBOs that are providing AB messages at the community level in an attempt change both normative and individual behavior.

A special emphasis in COP07 will be to coordinate and expand existing programs of non-governmental organizations dealing with child protection and family support in close collaboration with the Child and Family Initiative ($20,000).

Through this package of activities, 35 non-governmental organizations will receive institutional capacity building and 175 individuals trained in institutional capacity and in community mobilization, and who take an important leadership role in care and treatment.
