THIS IS A CONTINUING ACTIVITY UNDER COP 09.

ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

This activity is being funded across PMTCT, OVC, HBHC, and ARVS. Funds were reprogrammed in

August 2008.

This activity will strengthen nutrition support for PLWHA, including HIV-positive pregnant and lactating

women in PMTCT programs, and OVC, particularly the integration of nutrition assessment, counseling and

support within clinical care and treatment services (hospital and health center levels), while linking patients

to food security and livelihood assistance at the community level. FANTA II will also provide support and

TA to partners and the Ministry of Health for maternal nutrition interventions. FANTA II will provide technical

guidance to USG and USG partners on the integration of best practices for infant and young child feeding

(IYCF) interventions for HIV-infected pregnant and lactating women and their infants, and will participate in

the development of national nutrition policies in collaboration with other partners and Ministry of Health,

including policies around IYCF. While not a primary focus of their support, as FANTA is currently

USG/Mozambique's primary partner in the area of nutrition, and IYCF interventions are a critical component

of PMTCT programming and nutrition interventions, this will be an important area of support from FANTA.

The Academy of Educational Development (AED)'s Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance Project II

(FANTA) has assisted numerous countries in Sub-Sahara Africa to formulate policies and technical

guidance for HIV/AIDS and nutrition, develop appropriate training curricula and job aides for nutrition

support, and establish programs to directly address the nutritional needs of those who are most vulnerable

within HIV/AIDS care and treatment programs. Drawing heavily on this experience and using/adapting

materials from other countries, FANTA will provide support to PEPFAR/Mozambique to: (1) develop a USG

strategy for food and nutrition 2) strengthen and re-vitalize Ministry of Health Technical Working Groups and

other coordination mechanisms on nutrition and HIV 3) revise/develop training materials and job aids 4)

assist in developing plans and participate in a visit to Nairobi by representatives of PEPFAR/Mozambique

with National AIDS Council, Ministry of Health and Social Welfare Ministry, to observe the PEPFAR/Kenya-

supported Food-by-Prescription (FBP) and the AMPATH Program at hospital and other Comprehensive

Care Center ART sites and the InstaProducts Ltd. supplementary food production facility; 5) work with

implementing partners responsible for clinical sites to establish training and QA approaches to effectively

integrate and strengthen nutrition assessment and counseling within all PEPFAR-supported care and

treatment sites (including PMTCT) 6) provide recommendations on specifications for appropriate daily multi-

micronutrient supplements for adult PLWHA, PMTCT pregnant/lactating women, and OVC whose diets are

likely to be inadequate to meet basic vitamin/mineral requirements.

Finally, FANTA will share current scientific knowledge and program experience from other countries with

PEPFAR/Mozambique and its implementing partners, particularly with regard to linking clinical nutrition

support with food security and livelihood assistance, including "wrap-arounds" with food aid and

MCH/nutrition programming, to address the longer-term food and nutrition needs of PLWHA and their

families.

Reprogramming August08: Food and nutrition support is an essential component of services for people

living with HIV/AIDS, particularly for pregnant and lactating women. Within the PMTCT portfolio, this activity

will establish an assessment to improve the coordination and provision of food and nutritional access for this

target population. In accordance with PEPFAR guidance, the competed follow-on mechanism to the

FANTA agreement will assess the food and nutritional factors that impact PLWHA from the Mozambican

experience. The FANTA Follow-on will liaise with WFP, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Women and

Social Action, current palliative care and treatment partners, and other stakeholders and partners to conduct

this assessment. The findings of PMTCT specific issues will help the USG to identify locally appropriate

and sustainable ways of improving nutrition for pregnant/lactating women affected by HIV. Expected

outcomes will include the development of entry criteria tools that can be used by clinics and hospitals in

coordination with community and home care partners for pregnant/lactating PWLHA who are severely

malnourished adults, following the guidance on use of PEPFAR funding. Special attention will be paid

towards leveraging Title II funds to supplement the needs of PMTCT patients who are mild to moderately

malnourished. In addition, monitoring and evaluation systems will be put into place that can most

accurately measure the ability of community-based programs to support nutritional provision of PMTCT

clients once nutritional assessments and counseling are done at the clinical level.

This is the activity narrative from FY08

Reprogramming August08: Aim of this agreement is to take finding and tools from recent assessment and

establish an implementation strategy fro community based implementing partners across all USG agencies.

This activity will also support Ministry of Health, Women and Social Action and others in revising,

developing and disseminating foad and nutrition policy. This activity will support the establishment of

uniform practices and understanding amongh all USG oVC implementers on how, collectively, efforts can

contribute to sustainable food security and nutrition for OVC with the context of HIV and AIDS.
