This is a new mechanism to support 8 PMTCT sites in two Districts.

CSSC will take over sites supported by AIDS Relief to implement PMTCT and improve MCH services:

The implementing partner (IP) will support scale-up of PMTCT services to cover 80% of pregnant women with counseling and testing. For those found HIV negative, retesting will be considered in late pregnancy, labour and delivery or during postpartum period (and document sero-conversion). Women found HIV positive will be provided with ARV prophylaxis (75% and 85% of HIV positive pregnant women in 2011 and 2012, respectively) . The IP will support scale-up of EID to 65% of HIV exposed infants through RCH clinics.

The funds will also be used to:-

(1) Strengthen the linkages and referrals of HIV+ women and children to care and treatment services and other health and community programs and Health packages

(2) Support EID transportation of samples including DBS and sending back the results to the clients

(3) Strengthening M&E systems to track and document the impact of the PMTCT program.
