Main Partner: To Be Determined
Main Partner Program: NA
Organizational Type: Implementing Agency
Funding Agency: USAID
Total Funding: $0

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

THIS IS A NEW ACTIVITY:

Need and comparative advantage:

USAID/Tanzania has a vibrant Natural Resources Management/Economic Growth (NRM/EG) program,

which is set to begin a new round of 4-year partner awards in FY09. PEPFAR Tanzania and

USAID/Tanzania's NRM/EG programs are working closely to integrate HIV/AIDS activities into the program

design and procurement development of NRM/EG's new round of partner awards. Total USAID/NRM

funding for FY09 is anticipated at $6 million, with a range of competitive awards and contracts expected.

The availability of funds from PEPFAR Tanzania will allow for new partners in the NRM/EG portfolio to

integrate key HIV prevention messages and activities into their programs, and will enable PEPFAR to

expand its reach to underserved peri-urban and rural populations and leverage the unique access NRM

partners have to these underserved populations.

Activities:

PEPFAR will work with the NRM/EG program to implement targeted HIV/NRM/EG wrap-around activities

thus leveraging the approximately 4-year, $26 million NRM/EG portfolio and associated infrastructure.

PEPFAR plans to apply a total of $855,000 in HIV/AIDS funds (AB and OP) to both support the integration

of HIV/AIDS activities into NRM/EG programs and to provide technical assistance to NRM/EG partners to

ensure the technical quality of these wrap-around activities.

Planned wrap-around activities include:

- HIV prevention programming with farmers' groups and/or associations, and primary agricultural producers

in various sectors including but not limited to horticulture, coffee, and cashew, and organic spices.

- HIV prevention programs for community-based conservation organizations, particularly in coastal areas

where NRM project goals include livelihood improvement programs and integrated coastal zone

management.

- HIV prevention activities as part of the new NRM water/sanitation program bringing clean water and

sanitation facilities to communities with a high prevalence of HIV.

Linkages:

Linking PEPFAR programs to the NRM/EG program area will allow for a comprehensive approach to

HIV/AIDS in the affected communities that these programs serve. PEPFAR will expand its reach to

underserved populations, building upon NRM partners' access to and partnership with rural populations.

This wrap-around activity will leverage both human and financial resources as well as NRM/EG funding

sources and partners, to complement PEPFAR goals and maximize the effectiveness of programs.

Target Population:

Target populations will likely be located in rural farming or peri-urban areas for interventions in the

agriculture sector as well as in key conservation areas including high-risk coastal communities.

M&E:

Awards made under the NRM/EG program are subject to standard monitoring and evaluation protocols.

This includes an M&E program design that will be part of the initial partner proposal and final cooperative

agreement or contract. Partners are expected to provide quarterly progress reports which track data on

established indicators under the Performance Monitoring Plan and Operational Plan, as well as to measure

progress against established program goals. NRM/EG staff will conduct field visits and data quality

assessments in collaboration with USG PEPFAR colleagues. Annual progress will be presented at the

NRM/SO Team meeting to all partners and Government of Tanzania SO Team representatives.

Sustainability:

Both PEPFAR and NRM/EG programs focus on project sustainability. A value-chain approach is used by

NRM/EG to develop production capacity and quality improvement in profitable agricultural enterprises and

to ensure long-term market connectivity. Biodiversity conservation programs focus on livelihoods

development, from conservation-based enterprises like eco-tourism, handicrafts, honey, and mariculture,

thus enabling communities to meet their economic needs while participating fully in sustainable natural

resources management. By utilizing these platforms, PEPFAR interventions will also become sustainable,

as integrated parts of these NRM/EG programs.

THIS IS A NEW PROJECT INITIATIVE FOR FY 2009

NEED and COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE: USAID/Tanzania has a vibrant Natural Resources

Management/Economic Growth (NRM/EG) program, which is set to begin a new round of four-year partner

awards in FY 2009. PEPFAR Tanzania and USAID/Tanzania's NRM/EG programs are working closely to

integrate HIV/AIDS activities into the program design and procurement development of NRM/EG's new

round of partner awards. Total USAID/NRM funding for FY 2009 is anticipated at $6 million, with a range of

competitive awards and contracts expected. The availability of funds from PEPFAR Tanzania will allow for

new partners in the NRM/EG portfolio to integrate key HIV services for HIV-positive individuals into their

programs, and will enable PEPFAR to expand its reach to underserved peri-urban and rural populations and

leverage the unique access NRM partners have to these underserved populations.

ACTIVITIES: PEPFAR will work with the NRM/EG program to implement targeted HIV/NRM/EG wrap-

around activities, thus leveraging the approximately four-year, $26 million NRM/EG portfolio and associated

infrastructure. PEPFAR plans to apply a total of $100,000 in HIV/AIDS care and support funds to support

the integration of HIV/AIDS activities into NRM/EG programs and to provide technical assistance to

NRM/EG partners to ensure the technical quality of these wrap-around activities.

Planned wrap-around activities include activities with farmers' groups and/or associations, agricultural

producers (e.g., horticulture, coffee, and cashew sectors), as well as community-based conservation and

water sanitation organizations:

- Home-based care services to HIV-positive individuals, that include activities to extend and optimize quality

of life; this might include provision of psychosocial support, prevention activities for those who are HIV-

positive, adherence and nutritional counseling, referral for family planning, vocational training, income-

generating activities, legal protection, and access to commodities to prevent disease such as insecticide-

treated nets, water purification tablets, and treatment for diarrhea.

- Safe water interventions activities as part of the new NRM water/sanitation program, bringing clean water

and sanitation facilities to communities with a high prevalence of HIV.

LINKAGES: Linking PEPFAR programs to the NRM/EG program area will allow for a comprehensive

approach to HIV/AIDS in the affected communities that these programs serve. PEPFAR will expand its

reach to underserved populations, building upon NRM partners' access to and partnership with rural

populations. This wrap-around activity will leverage both human and financial resources as well as

NRM/EG funding sources and partners, to complement PEPFAR goals and maximize the effectiveness of

programs.

Target populations will likely be located in rural farming or peri-urban areas for interventions among HIV-

positive individuals in key conservation areas and the agriculture sector.

M&E: Awards made under the NRM/EG program are subject to standard monitoring and evaluation

protocols. This includes an M&E program design that will be part of the initial partner proposal and final

cooperative agreement or contract. Partners are expected to provide quarterly progress reports which track

data on established indicators under the Performance Monitoring Plan and Operational Plan, as well as to

measure progress against established program goals. The indicators will include the key indicators for

HIV/AIDS care and support so that the programs can report against PEPFAR targets. NRM/EG staff will

conduct field visits and data quality assessments in collaboration with USG PEPFAR colleagues. Annual

progress will be presented at the NRM/SO Team meeting to all partners and Government of Tanzania SO

Team representatives.

SUSTAINABILITY: Both PEPFAR and NRM/EG programs focus on project sustainability. A value-chain

approach is used by NRM/EG to develop production capacity and quality improvement in profitable

agricultural enterprises and to ensure long-term market connectivity. Biodiversity conservation programs

focus on livelihoods development, from conservation-based enterprises like eco-tourism, handicrafts,

honey, and mariculture, thus enabling communities to meet their economic needs while participating fully in

sustainable natural resources management. By utilizing these platforms, PEPFAR interventions will also

become sustainable, as integrated parts of these NRM/EG programs.
