ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

ACTIVITY 1: (a) Abstinence and be faithful (AB) activities will be integrated with other prevention activities

in support of the Department of Education (DOE) activities to prevent HIV among students in targeted

schools. Activities will encourage students to abstain from sexual activity as the best and only way to protect

themselves from exposure to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. In addition, activities will

integrate education and training focused on the role of alcohol and drugs in increasing high-risk behavior

and exposure to HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Training programs will support peer

educators with age appropriate messages for 10-14 year olds and for 15-19 year olds respectively. The

training programs will take into account that most of the South African high schools still have older boys and

girls in Grades 10 and 11 due to high repetition rates and due to starting school at a later age. Older youth

who are still attending classes in rural schools generally have limited career and continuing education

opportunities, thus they will also receive support to improve knowledge and awareness of HIV with

appropriate messages.

(b) In FY 2009, the program will include targeted support for teachers in selected schools. The support for

teachers (adults) will focus on messages for be faithful, reduce the number of sexual partners, avoid

concurrent or high-risk partnerships, and discourage cross-generational sex. The activities for the teachers

will be integrated with other sexual prevention and will be funded using AB and other prevention funds.

Teachers are included in the program to serve as mentors and to support the peer educators in the schools,

and as they often lack skills to play these roles effectively, they are included in the training program.

(c) Parents of peer educators will attend talks and seminars to engage them on how to support and mentor

their children at home as peer educators. This is aimed at ensuring that parents understand the role of peer

educators.

ACTIVITY 2 and 3: FY 2009 funds will not be used to support the activities for the Universities of the

Western Cape and Zululand. These will be new activities starting in early FY 2009 and will target older and

sexually active youth to provide training on behavior change, to learn about their HIV status.

ACTIVITY 4: Support at Vocational Training Colleges. Peer education training will develop skills and norms

to promote abstinence or delay sexual initiation, secondary abstinence, fidelity, and partner reduction for the

older boys and girls who are attending targeted colleges. Support for abstinence activities will be linked with

other sexual prevention activities for college students and older youth. The DOE will implement an

integrated HIV prevention program for college students.

Specific modifications for the FY 2008 COP include direct focus of sexual prevention activities on teachers

who support and work with peer educators in target schools. Teachers in the target schools were not

included in the previous programs as a target group for support. This approach has been reviewed and

revised during implementation of activities in 2007 and 2008. In FY 2009, teachers will be included as a key

target group for support. The current DOE life skills programs also do not target teachers, and as a result,

teachers are exposed to limited support on HIV and AIDS issues. Teachers are critical in sustaining peer

education programs in their schools, and in assisting to raise the profile of peer education activities.

Reports from the current peer education program have demonstrated that working with peer educators over

the past eight months has inculcated behavior change skills for the peer educators on abstinence. PEPFAR

support will continue in the current target schools located in KwaZulu-Natal, North West, Free State and

Mpumalanga provinces, with more peer educators trained and more learners reached.

The methods of selecting peer educators will be strengthened with increased participation of provincial,

district and circuit level life skills coordinators. Selection criteria will focus on gender equity, age, school

grade, motivation, acceptability by fellow students, students' personal traits and capabilities. Resources will

also be used to provide regular support to schools participating in the program and to establish a

sustainable incentive system for the peer educators. The incentive program will reinforce and strengthen the

skills of the peer educators and encourage social recreation opportunities for youth and provide relevant

awards.

The lessons learned during peer education training workshops will be shared with national and provincial

DOEs through the follow-on activities when scaling up PEPFAR support in 2009 and 2010. Based on the

strategic partnerships developed in 2007 and 2008 and working with schools in the target provinces of

Mpumalanga, North West, Free State and KwaZulu-Natal, PEPFAR resources will be used to provide

technical assistance to the national and provincial departments of education to strengthen their capacity to

deliver improved HIV education in schools.

USAID will offer technical assistance to the DOE to improve capacity to implement successful HIV and

AIDS programs within the education sector. Technical assistance will include the development of capacity to

manage and deliver education-relevant health programs in schools and to strengthen the implementation of

existing HIV and AIDS components of life skills and health education.

Technical assistance support to the DOE will be aimed at strengthening harmonization and alignment of the

HIV and AIDS programs in education. This will result in improved information sharing through joint reviews

of progress in education, joint planning, and better coordination. In addition, harmonization will lead to

improved coverage of funding gaps and introducing joint funding mechanisms, improving consistency and

continuity, moving towards one coordinating body or branch in the Ministry of Education and contribute to

national priorities.

Technical assistance will also target curriculum design, teacher training and support for extra-curricular

activities with specific focus on HIV and AIDS prevention. The monitoring and evaluation technical

assistance to the DOE will support strategies to adapt existing education information management systems

to capture relevant, timely and accurate information about HIV impacts on the education sector to be used

Activity Narrative: for advocacy and planning at all levels of the Ministry of Education, and support research to track the impact

of HIV and AIDS on children orphaned by AIDS. Technical assistance for monitoring and evaluation will be

used to provide feedback into decision-making processes, and to assess the impact of HIV and AIDS on the

education sector and inform the development of relevant policies.

Non-PEPFAR funds have been leveraged to support technical assistance to the DOE to strengthen its

internal structures and systems. This will help to scale up the peer education care and support program

nationally.

-----------------

SUMMARY: Abstinence and be faithful (AB) activities will target students at different levels of the education

system. Activities will support the Department of Education (DOE), in the prevention of HIV in schools,

colleges and universities. The focus of this activity will be on training, care and support for students, and

promote positive healthy behavior. Primary areas of emphasis are training students as peer educators to

develop skills to practice healthy behaviors, training to reduce gender based violence, and skills training to

develop the capacity of students and teachers. Abstinence and be faithful (AB) activities will be integrated

with other prevention activities in support of the DOE. The target populations are students aged 14-19 in

schools; college students aged 18-25; university students aged 18-25; and teachers aged 20 plus enrolled

for training at university.BACKGROUND: DOE's Health Promotion Directorate develops policies and

provides inputs to legislative frameworks to address health and HIV and AIDS issues across the education

system, in collaboration with other government departments. The nine provincial education departments are

responsible for implementing programs in schools and colleges. Life skills programs offering age-

appropriate AB messages are part of the school curriculum. The PEPFAR-funded peer education program

complements these efforts. DOE is harmonizing the PEPFAR-supported peer education program with life

skills activities to provide training on HIV prevention, gender based violence, sexual harassment and to fight

abuse. Current DOE PEPFAR-supported activities are in KwaZulu-Natal, Free State, Mpumalanga and

North West schools.Colleges offer vocational education and training programs to improve skills. The DOE

revamped college courses to ensure that they respond to the country skills' needs, and are accessible to

students in all areas. PEPFAR funds will support AB and other prevention activities while economic growth

funds will support wraparound workforce training in health and science related fields. Universities have

identified HIV and AIDS as a key challenge and they are supporting targeted peer education programs

focusing on AB prevention messages. With respect to HIV, universities are involved in research, teacher

training, support to feeder schools and integration of HIV into the curricula. PEPFAR and education funds

will support wraparound activities at the Universities of Zululand and the Western Cape to strengthen AB

programs started through previous USAID support. ACTIVITY 1: Expansion of Peer Education Program:

This PEPFAR activity will expand the current AB program to an additional 250 schools in the four focus

provinces of KwaZulu-Natal, Free State, Mpumalanga and North West. Funds will strengthen the focus in

new schools in target districts, and develop training programs to address HIV prevention. Activities will

encourage self-worth, the importance of HIV counseling and testing, reduction of stigma and discrimination,

responsible sexual behavior, and knowledge about HIV prevention. Programs will target 36,000 students in

the four districts. Complementary education resources will provide technical assistance to the DOE to

support program management and build host country capacity. Implementation will be through a local NGO.

ACTIVITY 2: Support at the University of Western Cape (UWC): Support to UWC will extend programs to

the Western Cape province and target first year and post graduate students, trainee teachers and students

in feeder high schools. Activities will focus on AB messages and will be integrated with more

comprehensive prevention messaging. Activities will address gender by targeting male students and

teachers and challenging traditional male norms and behaviors that contribute to the continued spread of

the HIV epidemic. Interventions for first year students will encourage attitude and behavior change as they

enter university. Fifty peer educators will encourage 700 first year students to participate in HIV and AIDS

prevention programs as part of their work study programs. Peer educators receive a stipend, and gain

facilitation and training skills. Training will be on AB messages and activities will be organized through

student leadership structures, academic, sporting, and house committees at residences. UWC will also

work with 1000 high school students from feeder schools located in the Cape Flats communities which are

affected by high levels of gang violence, drug, substance and alcohol abuse. Trained UWC peer educators

will work with high school students to address sexuality issues, and HIV prevention. Peer educators will

provide training to high school students through motivational talks and small focus group discussions.Other

activities to be supported with education resources will target 100 teachers in the same feeder schools

through teacher training programs to build capacity in HIV education. The UWC HIV and AIDS unit will

adapt teacher training modules used in Southern Africa for accreditation as UWC short-term courses.

Teachers will be trained in life skills courses, enabling them to teach AB programs in schools to address

HIV prevention, sexuality, gender, and abuse issues.ACTIVITY 3: Support at the University of Zululand

(UniZul): UniZul operates multiple programs to fight HIV and AIDS. Support will focus on AB activities and

will be integrated with other prevention activities targeting students. Activities will strengthen student peer

education programs and address gender-based violence (GBV), particularly related to rape by empowering

young girls with negotiation skills to delay sexual activities. Activities will promote awareness of women's

legal rights and provide guidance on how to access GBV and legal services. UniZul will collaborate with

DramAIDE to stage communication campaigns through drama, art, and poetry, and encourage strategies to

abstain from sex. UniZul will hold quarterly communication campaigns and encourage active participation

from students and staff. Assistance to local schools will strengthen life skills programs. PEPFAR AB

activities will target 2,500 new students, some whom have not yet initiated sexual activity and many of

whom do not yet have current partner on campus.ACTIVITY 4: Support at Vocational Training Colleges:

Support for college students will target youth over age 18 with AB activities. Training will emphasize

strategies to abstain from sexual activities, delay sex until later in life and teach measures to change

behavior targeting 1000 students. AB programs will be integrated with more comprehensive prevention

messages. Funds will be used to train students in skills they may need to abstain and to encourage

delaying sex until marriage. Young people will also be encouraged to adopt social and community norms

that support delaying sex until later in life and skills to avoid cross-generational sex, transactional sex, rape

and other gender-based violence. The results of these activities will contribute to the PEPFAR 2-7-10 goal

of seven million infections prevented and will directly support the USG/SA strategy in AB by improving A/B

preventive behaviors among youth.

ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

SUMMARY/BACKGROUND:

There are no significant modifications to the activities with University of the Western Cape or the University

of Zululand except the alignment of their activities targeting university students to specifically focus on the

prioritization of other sexual prevention on issues addressing risks associated with multiple concurrent

partners.

Previous activities for supporting the Department of Education (DOE) did not include support for the

teachers, and this was discussed with provincial DOE officials who recommended the inclusion of teachers

in targeted HIV prevention programs.

ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:

FY 2009 resources will specifically target support for training teachers on other prevention issues such as

being faithful, reduction of sexual partners, avoiding concurrent partners and engaging in risky relationships.

The other prevention component will be added to the current abstinence and being faithful (AB) program in

schools to ensure that life orientation teachers are equipped personally and professionally with HIV/AIDS

prevention skills.

------------------------

SUMMARY: Activities to provide other prevention strategies will be carried out by two local universities and

two vocational colleges and will be integrated with the abstinence and be faithful (AB) activities to support

the Department of Education (DOE). Activities will be focused at the Universities of the Western Cape

(UWC) and University of Zululand (UniZul). FY 2008 PEPFAR funds will support existing programs to

provide training in other prevention to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and HIV

and AIDS. Activities will target university students and will promote healthy behavior. Primary areas of

emphasis will be gender, participation, and training students as peer educators to develop skills to practice

healthy behaviors. The program will target students aged 15-35, both males and females. BACKGROUND:

UWC and UniZul have identified HIV and AIDS as a key challenge on their campuses and surrounding

areas. The institutions have identified qualified senior university personnel to manage and direct HIV and

AIDS policies and programs. UWC has 15,000 students and the majority of the students and staff are black

South Africans. Women comprise 57 percent of the student body. UWC is located in the Cape Flats area,

where high incidences of drugs, alcohol and gang violence have been reported. UWC's HIV and AIDS

program was established in 2001 and it includes a focus on peer education, counseling and testing (CT),

integration into the curriculum, and outreach to local communities where youth are at risk. UniZul is situated

in northern rural KZN close to the major industrial and growth center of Richards Bay. This area is growing

phenomenally due to the amalgamation of adjacent peri-urban, low cost housing, rural and informal housing

areas. UniZul student enrollment is 8,000. Students are mainly from historically disadvantaged communities

and are aged from 18 to 35 years. UniZul operates multiple programs on campus to fight HIV and AIDS,

conducts peer education prevention programs, provides CT, and offers ARV treatment. The university offers

outreach peer education programs to local high school students and interacts with local communities and

hospitals. Vocational colleges will offer other prevention programs integrated with activities encouraging

students to be faithful to their partners. The DOE recently revamped the colleges to offer courses that

respond to emerging skills needs. Colleges will train students to qualify in priority skill areas and engage in

the economy as productive artisans to strengthen the workforce. Some of the colleges have embarked on

their own HIV and AIDS programs, offering prevention services to students and training students to be

health care workers. ACTIVITY 1: Other Prevention at UWC FY 2008 PEPFAR funds will support other

prevention programs at UWC targeting all students on campus, particularly first year students. Activities will

address gender issues by directly targeting male norms and behaviors and challenging the way in which

practices based on traditional masculine identity encourage the continued spread of HIV. Training will focus

on partner communication skills. USG resources will increase the involvement of people living with HIV

(PLHIV) by supporting two health promoters. Health promoters will provide individual counseling, initiate

and run support groups, offer advice on nutritional support, and treatment of opportunistic infections, staging

of the disease and information on healthy living. Training in risk reduction communication skills aimed at first

year students will encourage attitude and behavior change. Fifty peer educators will encourage 1,000 first

year students to participate in HIV and AIDS prevention programs as part of their work study programs.

Students will receive a stipend, and will be mentored to become peer educators during their second and

third year of study at UWC, gaining facilitation and training skills. Training will be on safe sexual practices

including proper and consistent use of condoms and issues on cross-generational and transactional sex.

UWC has a fully equipped Student Health Services facility on campus managed by qualified personnel. It

offers free CT to students, and those students who test positive for HIV are referred for further consultation

and treatment at the local hospital. UWC has 80 condom dispensing machines on campus and extra

machines at all student residences, and condoms are offered free of charge from the Department of

Health.ACTIVITY 2: Other Prevention at UniZul Programs at UniZul include peer education, treatment and

CT. UniZul has a partnership with the local hospital where students who test positive for HIV are referred for

further consultation and treatment. The university has an established CT site within the campus clinic,

operated by qualified personnel although under resourced to meet the student needs. Education funds will

support a counselor to address gender-based violence related to rape on campus and negotiation skills to

empower young girls to delay sexual activities and promote correct and consistent use of condoms.

According to the UniZul, 90% of diseases treated at the campus clinic are STIs, and focus will be on support

to the campus clinic to develop and offer programs to manage STIs. (However, USG funds will not finance

treatment of STIs). PEPFAR funds will train 50 peer educators to reach out to 3,000 additional students who

are already engaging in sexual activity. Training will be on the use of condoms and discourage students

from engaging in risky sexual behavior, cross generational sex and having multiple sexual partners. UniZul

will collaborate with DramAidE to stage communication campaigns through drama, art, and poetry, and

develop a coordinated media plan to increase risk perception relating to multiple and concurrent partners.

Activities will target students through religious, cultural and traditional societies. The USG will mobilize

additional support from other PEPFAR-financed activities to install reliable condo-cans in residences.

Although female condoms are available at the campus clinic, their use has not been widely demonstrated.

ACTIVITY 3: Other Prevention at Vocational Colleges Focus will be on training 50 peer educators aged

from 15 plus to reach out to 1,000 additional students to encourage consistent use of condoms to prevent

Activity Narrative: HIV and STI infection. Students will be educated on safe sex measures which include correct and

consistent condom use, cross-generation and transactional sex male norms and behaviors and gender

related issues aimed at reducing violence and coercion. Training will also address the prevention of risky

behavior among students due to drug and alcohol abuse. The results of this activity will contribute to the

PEPFAR 2-7-10 goal of 7 million infections prevented and will directly support the USG/SA strategy in the

area of preventive behaviors among youth.

ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

Activities in targeted schools located in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) will support orphans and vulnerable children

(OVC) and provide training for their caregivers to improve the lives of the OVC. Support will extend to

primary schools which serve as feeder schools for the high schools in the peer education program. Activities

will offer services to OVC in schools and train caregivers to mentor and support OVC. Primary areas of

emphasis will be human capacity development, psychosocial support, education and training to support

OVC. The program will support the Department of Education (DOE) strategy to use schools as full service

centers for learning, teaching, prevention care and support. The target population will be OVC ages 5 - 17 in

grades 0-12, and caregivers servicing the focus schools. Program focus will be on strengthening families,

households and communities to meet the needs of orphans and other vulnerable children affected by HIV

and AIDS. The program will also support community-based activities that offer responses to help children

and adolescents to meet their own needs through meaningful youth participation, and create a supportive

environment where children can grow and develop into productive members of society.

Support for OVC will be linked with other DOE programs to ensure that the students can gain access to

available services such as "no fee schools", school nutritional programs, life skills and peer education

programs and link OVC programs with other USG programs to access full scale services and sustain the

support. The USAID-supported OVC program in KZN schools will also support full service schools to

strengthen and sustain the continuity of care and support through the training of the district and school level

officials. USAID will support the establishment of at least six full service schools in the Umzimkulu area.

Full service schools will be structured to provide psychosocial support to students and teachers by making

available qualified social workers and psychologists (linking with the social welfare services); professional

nurses and medical services (linking with health); protection services for OVC cases that need (linking with

police and legal services) interventions and support; and educational and vocational training services

(linking with education) for OVC that need mentoring, scholarships and career guidance.

The KZN provincial DOE has established full service schools in some of the districts and there are none in

the Umzimkulu area due to the recent provincial border demarcations that led to Umzimkulu being moved

from the Eastern Cape to KZN.

-------------------------

SUMMARY:

Support for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and training for their caregivers in targeted schools will

be carried out by a local NGO to support the Department of Education (DOE), to improve the lives of the

OVC. Activities will provide services to OVC in schools and will train caregivers to mentor and support OVC.

Primary areas of emphasis will be gender, human capacity development, psychosocial support, education

and training to support OVC. The program will support the DOE strategy to use schools as full service

centers for learning, teaching, prevention care and support. The target population will be OVC and children

ages 5 - 17 in Grades 0 - 12, and caregivers servicing the focus schools.

BACKGROUND:

The DOE is committed to increasing access to quality education for all students including students with

special needs. Policies are in place to address student retention rates at schools through the expansion of

the feeding scheme program which provides access to nutritious food. DOE is focusing at improving access

for children in rural areas and exemption and elimination of school fees for children whose parents cannot

afford the cost of education. The no fee paying schools offer access to five million children. The DOE's

inclusive education polices are aimed at creating an education environment where there is no

discrimination. The DOE uses a district-based approach to support a cluster of schools with special needs.

Some of these schools have been earmarked as full service schools where therapy, counseling,

assessment, treatment, care and support will be provided to students who require these services.

Many children in rural areas do not have access to any of the services discussed above. Girls still suffer

from various forms of discrimination. Children have to travel long unsafe distances to school and in some

instances they experience abuse and rape along the way. Other children are abused in their homes,

maltreated their peers, and live without adequate adult support and supervision. In some cases children are

absent from school due to ill health or psychosocial factors. Children are marginalized and stigmatized due

to their disability, ill-health or when parents are terminally ill or have died of AIDS. In rural areas children

with disabilities do not have easy access to schools due to lack of transport. They are sometimes hidden by

families or mainstreamed without recognition of their disabilities.

ACTIVITY 1: Caregiver Training

This program will provide training for caregivers to support children and teachers to address disability and

vulnerability issues. The education system is not equipped with qualified caregivers, social workers,

psychologist, and therapists to assess, and provide support to children with disabilities, children traumatized

due to death of a parent, or children infected with AIDS. Teachers do not have adequate skills and the

capacity to serve as counselors and caregivers. Human and physical resources are limited to urban areas

and economically affluent schools. While the DOE has set aside finances to support children with

disabilities, this plan has not yet started to yield the desired results due to lack of capacity. Support will

include training for 30 caregivers from school governing body members to increase capacity to offer quality

education to OVC and disabled children. Support will increase measures to protect OVC from violence,

exploitation, discrimination, abuse and obviate any secondary trauma that may result from their orphanhood

and/or vulnerability. Training for caregivers will impart skills to mitigate the impact of HIV and AIDS, address

disabilities and fight discrimination. Caregivers will receive training to identify OVC, access for referrals for

the identified children to appropriate service providers, establishment and support of child care forums and

monitoring and evaluation systems to ensure that there is accurate data to respond to emerging problems.

The skills acquired through the training will also assist members of the local community especially women to

Activity Narrative: access income.

Other education funds will be leveraged to provide a comprehensive integrated wraparound OVC program.

Support will include conducting a baseline study in target schools to determine the specific needs of the

students. The targeted schools will receive support for abstinence and be faithful activities.

ACTIVITY 2: OVC with Disabilities

PEPFAR funds will assist 2000 OVC to fight the impact of HIV and AIDS and address disabilities. USG

funds will be used to strengthen mentoring training programs for OVC and more vulnerable disabled

children and increase access to social services, health, nutrition, and education. Activities will support

prevention against HIV and AIDS, equip children with skills to counter abuse, teach children about gender-

based violence prevention, offer OVC career guidance opportunities, tertiary education and training

programs, child protection services and legal aid. Training and workshops will address psychosocial issues

for OVC in schools, integrate HIV and AIDS and gender into the curriculum, addressing sexual harassment,

sexual abuse and unwanted pregnancies to reduce abuse and cohesion.

Support will be linked to the schools that are currently receiving peer education assistance and special

schools identified by DOE as full service schools. This link is aimed at consolidating USG education support

to ensure comprehensive programming in the area.

The OVC program will support children in a cluster of 200 rural KZN schools. The program will focus at the

Kokstad, Mzimkulu schools in the Sisonke District with high poverty levels and HIV prevalence rates. OVC

include children with mental, physical and learning disabilities, and children orphaned by AIDS. The support

to OVC is in line with the DOE's objectives on inclusive education, and uses schools as supportive centers

of learning.

In KZN the provincial education department is working with other donors and local NGOs to strengthen

school structures to provide care and support for children and teachers. This program will be implemented

in collaboration with other ongoing DOE activities. Other partnerships will include establishing links with

local health, social, law enforcement and legal aid services. This is to ensure that the activity is integrated

with existing service institutions in the area to sustain the collaboration between education, health, social

services and police. A local service provider will be identified competitively through an Annual Program

Statement to implement this program.
