Detailed Mechanism Funding and Narrative

Years of mechanism: 2008 2009

Details for Mechanism ID: 3569
Country/Region: Mozambique
Year: 2009
Main Partner: Ministry of Family, Women, and Social Affairs - Mozambique
Main Partner Program: NA
Organizational Type: Host Country Government Agency
Funding Agency: HHS/CDC
Total Funding: $97,200

Funding for Care: Adult Care and Support (HBHC): $37,200

ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

Continuing with FY08 activities, the Ministry of Women and Social Action (MMAS) will be provided with

ongoing technical assistance to develop Integrated Care and Support networks in Tete, Sofala and

Zambezia provinces, particularly emphasizing psychosocial support to PLWHAs and vulnerable family

members.

MMAS will coordinate with other sectoral partners (MoH, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Agriculture) to

provide a comprehensive response to the medical and broader social needs of individuals and families

made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. Taking advantage of community led committees being revitalized with the

support of the government, MMAS will train community volunteers (who can be characterized as "para

social workers") to carry out social evaluations and referrals, and will provide psycho-social support to

orphans, vulnerable children and families affected by HIV. Referrals may include links to the formal sector

(e.g., MMAS cash grants), the informal sector (such as nutritional supplements and local NGO services and

activities), and Home Based Care programs, who, in turn refer to Health clinics as needed. It also includes

standardizing, coordinating and supporting Income Generation Activities most appropriate for this target

group.

This activity will also benefit from collaboration with USAID, UNICEF, World Bank, FAO and local NGOs

who may provide capacity building, referral services or other support. It will result in policy changes,

monitoring criteria, supervision and training materials that improve access to the broad array of services

needed by this target group. Specifically MMAS will train 12 trainers who will then train 300 volunteers,

resulting in 5000 OVC and vulnerable family members served. In FY09 materials for training community

committee members will also be tested by MMAS.

Continuing with FY07 activities, the Ministry of Women and Social Action (MMAS) will be provided with

ongoing technical assistance to develop Integrated Care and Support networks in Tete, Sofala and

Zambezia provinces.

As part of this activity specifically, MMAS will coordinate with other sectoral partners (MoH, Ministry of

Interior, Ministry of Agriculture) to provide a comprehensive response to the medical and broader social

needs of individuals and families made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. Taking advantage of community led

committees being revitalized with the support of the government, MMAS will train community volunteers

(who can be characterized as "para social workers" as we "task shift" to compensate for the lack of Human

Resources in the Social Welfare sector) to carry out social evaluations and referrals, and will provide

psycho-social support to orphans, vulnerable children and families affected by HIV. Referrals may include

links to the formal sector (e.g., MMAS cash grants), the informal sector (such as World Food Program

nutritional supplements and local NGO services and activities), and Home Based Care programs, who, in

turn refer to Health clinics as needed. It also includes standardizing and coordinating Income Generation

Activities most appropriate for this target group.

This activity will also benefit from the support of USAID, UNICEF, the World Bank, FAO and local NGOs

who will provide capacity building and other support such as financing cash grants in response to the higher

demand for services that will occur. It will result in policy changes, monitoring and evaluation, supervision

and training materials that improve access to the broad array of services needed by this target group.
