AgriAids (AA) implements HIV/TB and wellness programs for farm workers. Average HIV prevalence rate in farming communities is 25%; thus AA’s main task is to reduce direct effects of HIV/AIDS and TB on permanent and migrant-farm workers. AA implements HIV prevention, counseling and testing, care, treatment & support- targeting permanent, seasonal and migrant farm workers (FW). FWs are considered a most-at-risk-population in terms of HIV infection. AA operates an HIV/Wellness project in Limpopo, North West, Kwa-Zulu Natal and Mpumalanga. AA’s employs NIMART trained nurses in provision of pre-packed ARV, TB and STI treatment and concomitant medication on site. AA’s improved model will incorporate full -functional clinics accredited by DOH, on the farms and paid for by farm owners. AA will implement 3 models within HVAB/ HBHC/HVTB/ HTXS and HVCT. Targets: HBHC: 3,240 clients. HVTB: 3,240 HVCT: 12,960 and HTXS: 810. AA program operates in collaboration with the DOH, with DOH providing HIV testing kits as well laboratory tests for HIV, TB and other chronic diseases. DOH pays for HIV counsellors in Limpopo. AA has signed MOUs with DOH outlining staff and program transition to DOH. All program activities are monitored bi- monthly by AA District Coordinator and every quarterly by AA’s Program Manager. Monitoring by AA staff at the farm include assessing HCT sessions, assessments of farm workers and farm owner’s satisfaction of program. AA works with other PEPFAR funded partners such as FPD and ANOVA on HCT. AA plans to work with PEPFAR funded PMTCT partners since AA doesn’t provide PMTCT services. AA nurses and counsellors were trained on the national accredited I ACT program. Implementation of activities is according to national policies and protocols.

Mechanism Target Information

Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.
