Details for Mechanism ID: 7237
Country/Region: Mozambique
Year: 2009
Main Partner: Humana People to People
Main Partner Program: ADPP-Mozambique
Organizational Type: NGO
Funding Agency: USAID
Total Funding: $0

Funding for Sexual Prevention: Abstinence/Be Faithful (HVAB): $0

This is a continuing activity under COP09.

ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY2008.

This is a new activity under COP08. Ajuda de Desenvolvimento de Povo para Povo Mozambique (ADPP) is

a New Partners Initiative awardee implementing programs in AB, C&OP and OVC through its ‘Total Control

of the Epidemic', or TCE, program.

AB funding will support TCE's person-to-person, community-based BCC component and teacher training

institution-based training and outreach component in six districts throughout the country.

Household Person-to-Person BCC CAMPAIGNS and COMMUNITY EVENTS

Trained and employed Field Officers visit households, meeting individually with members to facilitate

discussions about safer sexual behavior, emphasizing risk reduction through ABC, and the importance of

knowing one's status. Subsequent visits to each household focus on other issues such as Positive Living,

ART, STIs. TCE is unique in that each visited individual is encouraged to self-assess his/her risk level

using a tool comprised of questions related to behaviors and norms. The person-to-person campaign will

be reinforced with larger community events addressing prevention, especially by focusing on harmful norms

and practices including multiple, concurrent partnerships, and transactional and cross-generational sex.

Field Officers are trained in HIV prevention, pre- and post-test Counseling and are familiarized with PMTCT

and Treatment clinical services in their area. In addition to carrying house-to-house campaigns, they are

tasked with mobilizing teams of community volunteers to facilitate regular community education events such

as discussions and educational theatre focused on HIV prevention.

EDUCATION and OUTREACH with IN-SERVICE and PRE-SERIVCE TEACHERS

AB funding will also support a unique program that trains teachers and teacher-trainees in carrying out

community and school based prevention programs. A very serious issue in Mozambique is abuse of power

by those in positions of authority; in the education sector, the practice of teachers demanding sex from

students in exchange for favors or passing grades is unfortunately a common reality, even at the primary

school level. In addition to training teachers on how to teach HIV/AIDS prevention to students, this activity

will allow teachers and teacher-trainees to focus on their own behaviors, risks and responsibilities.

Funding for Care: Orphans and Vulnerable Children (HKID): $0

This is a continuing activity under COP09.

ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY2008.

This is a new activity under COP08. Ajuda de Desenvolvimento de Povo para Povo Mozambique (ADPP)

was awarded funding in AB, C&OP and OVC through its "Total Control of the Epidemic", or TCE, program

under the "New Partners Initiative". The three-year project incorporates service delivery, quality care, and

attempts to bridge gaps between Government services and local community's ability to access the services.

The two core strategies of the program include community mobilization and counseling campaigns and

targeted interventions for local teachers.

TCE addresses the growing orphan crisis by establishing OVC Care Committees. Committees, which

include teachers and other respected members of the community, are key to identifying and referring

individual OVC. The committee members are likely to know who the OVC are, their family histories, and the

state the extended family is in; they are able to tailor the referrals and assistance for each individual.

Field Officers assisted by TCE Management, Passionates, and In-Service and Pre-Service Teachers

establish OVC Care Committees. These committees will work in cooperation with government and school

programs to deal with the situation of each child. TCE provides Committee members with an initial two-day

training on care of and support for OVC, followed by monthly training meetings. Training meetings provide

information on general OVC care, counseling, obtaining birth certificates, establishing IGAs and vegetable

gardens, and accessing health and social services. Committee members then commit themselves to

addressing the six essential services: food and nutrition, education, civil rights and responsibilities, safety

and security, health, and psychosocial support and mental health to be provided to targeted OVC.

It is recognized that OVCs will have different demands in the six target areas therefore the committee

members will evaluate each child's needs and plan and coordinate his/her time accordingly. The committee

member themselves will follow up on each other's progress and with the OVC they are commonly

responsible for cross checking with the OVCs to ensure the support needed is being received. In addition,

the Field Officers will monitor the committees by visiting at least two times per month.

The Committees mobilize the community on various issues that pertain to children including child abuse,

children's rights and the importance of children growing up safe and secure. The Committees also run

campaigns to encourage enrollment in school. Campaigns about health issues are held and include

messages about HIV/AIDS and TB. ADPP plans to reach 600 OVC with FY08 funding.
